Needs LS3 heads for this one. Along with some clever belt routing.

Isn't the LSA supercharger spun off a dedicated supercharger belt spaced farther from the block? You would need a new crank pulley and tensioner, and LS3 heads.

Or so they claim... noone has gotten one from them yet accept a guy with an ls3 custom build. Ask them about it and all they can tell you is give you a link to their website with a pic of this on an ls3 build they did. This thread has all that info https://ls1tech.com/forums/cadillac-...c-stroker.html But hey they keep saying they will release it end of the month lets wait and see

Holy **** he's right...

Well...guess everyone can stop complaining about when it will come about...its here for $6995.00. Really kind of vague about what you get with it though. So, $6500.00 for a 112 or $6996.00 for a E-Force TVS 2300.

Granted anyone to pay 6500 for a maggie is a fkn tool. This is the same link thats been up this whole month however when you call them they can't give you any info on it. Think they are building them when they receive money first so the wait is going to be ***.

Already went down that road.......directly from RPM:

Subject: CTS-V Supercharger
Shane,

The kit that that was put on the ctsv that was in our shop was completely custom. The motor was a 416 LS3 with LS3 heads hence the reason for getting the kit that is for the camaro/corvette. If you are going to install one of these kits onto your car you are going to have to get an edelbrock kit that is for a LS2 corvette. That way you have the correct port spacing for the heads.

As far as the instructions, I can send you the pictures that I have on the build but I do not have written instructions for the kit. I made most of the pieces for that kit specifically for that car so most of those pieces may not even work on your set up. I do not know the HP gains that you will see with that set up on a LS6 because we have not installed one of those kits on that motor. In theory it should be the same as one of those motors with a with a TVS 2300 from magnason. Around 22 hp for every LB of boost at the wheels. And 2300 is the size of the blower which is 2.3L; cfm is dependent on the speed that the rotors are spinning (i.e. pulley size).

You are also going to need to do some kind of battery relocation in order to fit the supercharger reservoir. I have attached some of the pictures that I have from the build, maybe they will help you in this process.

That sure ain't no kit, but a lot of tinkering. To the guy who goes this route, hope you have a shop full of equipment.

Im the one making putting the E-Force kit on his V. The kit just got here today. I will make a post with pics and instructions after all the custom pieces have been fabbed so its not custom and doesnt require tinkering for the next guy. At least thats the goal


edit: and forget that battery relocation crap. Im finding a way around that
