Are these the TVS 2300?
Or, just the TVS 1900?

I'm sure they aren't the inefficient MP112 or MP 122, right?

To my knowledge Magnacharger doesnt make a G8 kit that uses anything smaller then the 1900... I talked to the guys at Livernois about these kits, they are the 1900 kits, but with the 60 lb injectors. I think they said the 2300 kits are 900 more...

88ls1blazer is correct.

The kit itself retails for $6,850.00. I'd have to check Monday to see what I can do on a kit for you.

Spend the money on the 2300 now over the 1900.
If you don't, you will regret it later.

There will be NO negative to running the bigger blower, BUT, there WILL be negatives to running the smaller blower.

Even if you don't plan to make more power now, the odds say you will want more power later.
Even if YOU don't, the future owner definitely will. The larger blower will be a BIG factor in selling your car down the road.

Sorry, but No.
It's free advice.

Well then I'll just assume you don't know what you're talking about, if you can't back up your statements with facts or justification.

Magnacharger also recommends the MP112 for 6.0 litre motors.

I'm sure you guys will do a great job and the TVS 1900 will make power.

But it's a no-brainer to go with the 2300 if you are spending all that money to begin with. If not, I am willing to bet that people will regret buying the 1900 down the road. It's the nature of our hobby. It doesn't change.

Does the car remain emissions legal with this kit? I thought I saw another post where they (maybe you) were installing a CARB EO sticker.
