So anybody on here running the TVS2650 blower on a LS3 camaro? I bought one but I'm not running the dedicated drive system. Mine is going to run off of the accessory drive. I bought a 10 rib conversion kit from ATI but I don't know what to do about a tensioner and idler. Anybody have any answers for me? Will the stock tensioner work? I could buy a heavy duty tensioner but I didn't know if I needed a special tensioner bracket for this to work. Steve morris engines dyno'd a LS3 with with a tvs2650 and they're running the stock ls3 camaro accessories but they dont know if they could replicate the tensioner bracket/idler.
Is this the same supercharger used on the Mag Drag but using an LS3 intake?
10 Rib 5th gen balancer?
If this is the case, I cant see why you can't use the same belt tensioner and bracket as the Mag Drag set up uses.
So I did not purchase the Magdrive tvs2650. They have 2 different ones they sell. I bought the one that runs off the accessory drive belt. I think I've figured it out though. I bought a copo camaro tensioner bracket, tensioner, and idler from Magnuson. It was $675 for all of it. Ill keep yall posted on whether it works or not. I'm almost positive it will because the copo camaros with the tvs2650 run the blower off the accessory belt. And it looks like the copo camaros have a ls3 water pump on them so the belt spacing should be perfect. Only difference is the copp water pump is billet aluminum and costs $1k 🥴
Well, good news guys. The 2019 Copo camaro tensioner does indeed work with 2010 LS3 camaro front accessories. The belt spacing is the same. So for anybody crazy enough to want to run one of these blowers in your setup, now you know what works.
Picture of it all installed. If you're wanting to run the ati 10 rib setup this belt works great with OEM LS3 accessories Dayco 5100994
what size is your damper? Sweet setup. I’ll be switching over to single belt 10 rib drive soon when I swap out for more cubes. Currently running forged 6.2 with LSA drive but no AC.
magnuson actually makes all the copo camaro supercharger parts if its a copo with the Maggie tvs2650 on it. I called them up and they sent me the tensioner, tensioner bracket, idler, and bolts for the tensioner bracket for around $600. You just call them and tell them you need a tensioner setup for a copo camaro with the tvs2650 on it.

This is everything they sent me. The belt they send will not work if you're running an alternator or power steering.

I just bought a 2010 camaro ss with this blower on it utilizing the stock pulleys and tensioner right now and it is far less than ideal.
I stumbled across your thread, I know it is an old thread but hoping you will see this and reply.
I contacted magunson and they told me it's designed to work with LSA pulley system and didn't provide me anymore info, then I ran across this and asked them about it.
What other pulleys did you get and from where to make it a 10 rib on the other pulleys, and what belt size did you end up going with?
