When its ready you guys will be the first to know and Im sure Thomas will chime in with a price at that time.
Come on man. Is this wishware? How come Hendrix isn't posting this saying they will be available? I'm not trying to be a dick, but I'd like to see if this is really being worked on. I'd hate to buy a 112 and then this comes out the next week. What's the time frame on this "kit", and will it come with detailed instructions like the Maggie kit?

I agree totally....the Caddy Tax is outrageous. But is there a better looking car that is relatively fast and not that common for the money? Obviously I'm bias.

That turbo Mustang that you have is the cat's meow (don't get me wrong) but is it really that sexy? I'm sure when it blows past a V like the V is standing still it will look pretty badass (lol) but just sitting there.....ehhhh.

Engine tick according to my new engine builder is a disagreement between a cam lobe and a lifter which over the course of time led to a messy divorce and a bit of chaffing.

New injectors going on the tvs soon also.

No such thing as a tvs kit but it's not rocket science to put one together. The gent I sold my old box 1 mp112 is surely coming up with a list of parts for a box2 which is all you need. Plus a tvs of course.

Don't know what the big deal about the edelbrock is. A TVS 2300 will fit just fine under our stock hood with a bit of persuasion. Plus looks nicer in my opinion.

Yes you should have. Was a damn good deal if I say so myself.

No one's buying my stupidly expensive offset pulleys for a tvs... come on, you want to.

Nope not wishware I got an email today that its ready to ship.

If your in a hurry, go ahead and get the 112. Im not a vendor and I dont sell stuff so its no skin off my back. I was trying to be helpful by letting you know its coming and some of the options you can order.

I should have everything finished up by the end of March at the latest. Most likely it will be mid month.

Ill post some pics and stuff next weekend. I plan on putting together an installation post after Im done.

I did mention to Edelbrock about getting you MP112 guys an option to upgrade to an E-Force head unit and keep your maggie accessories. They said it may be doable. I havent even mentioned it to Thomas yet.
If someone with a 112 is in Houston and would be willing to bring your car to my house next weekend so we can do some measurements on what would be needed, send me a PM. Its just a thought right now. Im not sure but I think it would just mean that you re-use your intercooler, pump, and reservoir, which may not be a huge savings.

I thought you sold it bro thats why I left you alone haha. I've been desperate to get my hands on one but now torn between this and that. Keeping and eye out for a hit v2 so me and the mad scientists can rip that biaaach apart and maybe build me one of those, or this eforce...or a cheap maggie (not for 3 grand cause im not a jew)...too many dang choices Oh and Hendrix pricing my a$$ when I called them, and in fact I have an email of him saying 6500 LOL. How bout that for hendrix pricing...I can get it cheaper almost anywhere else. So whoever was blabbing crap to you was full of it...Which also brings me to the point of how anyone keeps the price of a maggie the same as a tvs unit just fn stupid. If the tvs is around 6 the maggie should be around 4 but hey

True, same when I was selling my old maggie, all sorts of folks were coming up with Hendrix is selling kit a) with bouncy castle attachment for 4k why should I buy yours for 2k type of thing.

It's true, hendrix did have a pretty good offer way back last year on mp112 kits (I think it was in the mid 4 range) but don't quote me as I wasn't buying at the time. But that offer is gone and it seems like prices also shot up for eaton s/c in general.

When I was ringing around last year the TVS 1900 and 2300 was $100 apart making this a no brainer but it gives you an idea of what strange price structures magnusson (or some of its dealers) have. Wouldn't be surprised to see mp112 kits going for 6.5k now.

I got mine from MTI eventually as they were the cheapest and could get it to me on time. Have since had some disagreements with MTI but they were nice to me back then.

I didnt find out about the Cathedral port manifold option until I had already purchased the LS3 and everything for it.

I could have stuck with my LS2.

Yeah, If I were going big power it would be whipple. I really like 1badctsv's setup. Though I would only do it if I were building the motor. No use in paying all of that money to not be able to use the power.
