Not long ago the thought of stuffing a positive displacement blower on a modern Corvette without adding a huge cowl-induction hood was all but a pipe-dream since the slippery Vettes had little under-hood real estate, especially North of the intake manifold. But technology marches on and now companies like Edelbrock and Magnacharger make bolt-on TVS blower kits for the C5 and C6 Corvettes. The TVS blowers retain the massive torque of their roots-blower brethren while taking top-end power into the realm of the centrifugal snails. Some call it the best of both worlds.
Witness this wicked Grand Sport that’s got a little cam, a few bolt-ons and of course, an Edelbrock E-Force blower. If the 620 HP doesn’t sell you on the idea of a TVS-blown Vette, the 560 LB-FT of torque at the tires will! If that’s not enough, it’s making peak torque from roughly 2000 RPM allllllllllll the way to redline.
