G8 Maggie tvs2300 on a V
Is there any reason this wouldn't work on a V1 and clear a stock hood? It looks like the blower sits back on the manifold for hood clearance and I believe it is the correct belt offset.

I know the Gto has been used with new pullies and some machining but I'm wondering why the G8 wouldn't bolt right up?
Edit, I just realized the g8 is an L76 not an ls2 and those have rectangular port heads. So a head swap would be needed. Not sure if anything else stops it.

Ya I know, they also drop the CR about 1 point. The flow helps but it just doesn't matter as much with a blower compared to NA. Our VE is already high.
It's just more money to swap in a TVS. I wonder if you can get a different valley section of the manifold to go back to cathedral. Depends how modular their design is. Then go ls3 heads later.

If memory serves me correct a g8 gxp kit is what's needed as the g8 I thought had the same pulley spacing as a Gto. I did it 4 years ago and can't remember but I think I needed the gap kit because of the pulley spacing. And you need to change heads if you do that option.
