Anybody in middle Tennessee have a roots blower on their C5?
Looking to meet up with someone who has a roots style blower (magnacharger) on their C5 who wouldn't mind showing it off a bit
and maybe let me go with them for a short ride to see if it is my cup of tea. I have been in a c5 with a centri before but never a roots style.
Thanks
Jeff

on the 2300 tvs. Back a few yrs I had the Kenne Bell on the car. It really was great out of the hole if you want to just burn the tires off the car. But full boost at 3200 rpm. I pulled the KB off due to the heat plus wanted more power out of it plus for it to come on are work more on the top end.
If you want something in the power range of the 2300 tvs and will never look at no more power. That would be a good way to go on the car.

I had a Kenne bell that I got from TPE new, bigger cam that what Jeff said he had in his car that he said he made just over 800 RWHP. I made less than 700 RWHP. Plus that was with his tune that was in his so called 800 KB set up. This was on a 402 LS2 build motor with TF 225 heads also... Robert

I really dont think so that is not without putting a ton of more money into it on extra parts for that set up.

Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Short of attempting to use an Edelbrock kit, I would probably steer clear of this and use an ECS kit.
Unless you are just up for reinventing the wheel.

Burning Brakes
Can't help with the ride as I am in Florida but, I love my TVS2300 setup. I am right at 500rwhp and 513wtq on an 02Z06 at 10# of boost. Blower been on for going on 2 years now. Only trouble I have had is with the crummy install job ( wish I had done it myself, I will from now on), other than keeping traction
