08 Vette, TVS 1900, auto
08 Vette, TVS 1900, auto Had the opportunity this past Friday to tune one of the first (I think THE first) LS3 TVS kits from MTI. The car was an auto, with 1 7/8ths KOOKS long tubes, and made right at 400 rwhp on my dyno previously.
This go round was the TVS kit ONLY. No meth, no other mods. Tune was done with EFIlive's virtual VE, and then we dialed in the MAF. VERY conservative tune. 11.5:1 A/F and about 17 degrees of timing. Runs were made with an UNLOCKED converter as I was afraid of ripping the clutch out of it.
I would imagine locking the converter would be worth a few more. Meth wold be worth a nice chunk of power!!
Customer will be in the market for a trans and converter real soon, I do believe.
Enjoy!!

wow. Just the blower (on low boost i imagine, 7lbs perhaps?) and headers and damn near 600rwhp and torque everywhere.
these ls3 motors are awesome, and the new TVS blowers are damn near (if not the same) as twin screws in performance. They hit instantly, and dont fall off like the older 112's and 122's.
i want. i want.
