TVS 2300 owns my soul

[VegasNate]

O.K., I just paid for the Maggie 2300 in full to my install shop in Las Vegas(LEP). Hell yeah is all I can think of to say right now. After a year of dreaming of this day I can't believe I did it. Now the real torture is waiting for it to get hear and get put in. I'm currently at 400rwh with the mods I have already.

This car is already the fastest and nicest one I have ever owned second to the 97 Camaro SS anniversary edition I purchased new when I worked for G.M. I can't imagine what it will be like with the Magnacharger too. Anyways, I'm going crazy trying to stay busy in the mean time. I've done so much shit around the house that the wife is wondering WTF I'm on right now!

I had to go to 2 different banks to take out the money because they didn't have enogh cash on hand. I have never spent that kind of money in one wad before. Three thoughts crossed my mind as I left the second bank: 1.Put it back in you idiot 2. Hit the Casinos and double it! 3.Go directly to Leading Edge Performance and do what you came to do I chose option 3. I will post updates as soon as I can.:)

[BigRob]

congrats! i was just in vegas over the weekend watching some mma fights. i lived out there for like 7 years in henderson, off of green valley parkway. i love vegas. cant wait to see what it can do! i think you will put up some mean, mean record numbers!

[vic2186]

[VegasNate]

Thanks! I live in Henderson. Black Mountain area. Great views of the strip.

Your going to have a bad ass car on your hands! I'm thinking you may need a cage at the drag strip. :)

When I go FI I'm only going 1900.....

Your gonna have so much power! Damn! :devil:


...

[G8GT721]

drag radials or slicks?

[VegasNate]

I need to get some drag wheels for the strip. I'm still new to drag racing so not sure what I'll be getting. Oh yeah, and a helmet.

[09gtt]

you are my idol im so jealous

[BlownG8GT]

Congrats....LEP builds some FAST cars in Vegas :)

[FLUBYU]

Wow man gratz. You're gonna need full racing seats and head protection to keep from breaking your neck when you floor it. Car is gonna be sick.

[VegasNate]

What really sucks is waiting. It seems that thanks to Hennesey and LPE buying up all the 2300 systems, there is no word on when mine will be available. It's a conspiracy I tell you!

[99-LS1-SS]

They're out to keep you under powered!!! It's a conspiracy!!!

[Ben@Adams]

currently shopping a 1900 for my TBSS... yer car is gonna be NUTS-COO-COO-GONZO with that 2300 on there. Congrats... if Zippy is hanging around LEP let him know Dylan said whats up!

Will do! Zippy is the man.

[BigRob]

man, the wait must be killin ya!

[VegasNate]

I was hoping to have this done by the fourth of July. Don't see it happening now. :footstomp::puke::drunk:

[Scalarrthu]

Congrats on the order Nate, looks like you beat me to it! I'm sure I will be near by the shop taking notes as they install...keeping a close eye on Garth (and offering bribes to put it on my car instead ;)). Can't wait for the results!

[NickelnDime]

Haha! Congrats!
I can't wait to see!

[NickelnDime]

What all are you waiting for to get shipped besides the 2300 for your install?

[VegasNate]

I'm waiting for the 2300 kit itself.

[Scalarrthu]

Is there a "we know Zippy" Adam's Disount available to us??? ;)

[VegasNate]

I guess I'm not getting blown this weekend.

[AL@G8R]

Doesn't Intense Racing have the 2300 maggie kit for $6,799?:)

[jeppsG8]

Seriously let me know how this goes. I'm very interested in driving to Vegas for a tune and headers. If this goes well and your guys do you right, I might want to go ahead and get blown while I'm there. I never need much of an excuse for the I-15 Southbound cruise.

[VegasNate]

Alright, it has been 3 weeks and Magnacharger still can't give a possible date as to when my supercharger will be shipping. Am I being unreasonable with being aggravated with this. I know it is a quality product and worth the wait but in this economy I would think this process would be a little quicker. If any vendors out there have an actual TVS 2300 unit on their shelf for a 08 G8 GT let me know.

[jxhopper]

WTF. I wouldn't stand for it.

[VegasNate]

I'm starting to wonder if maybe there is some kind of technical problem that is holding up the process. If I can't get a definite answer by the end of this week, I'm gettting my money back and rethinking my next power adder.

See if you can get it through livernois. Don't quote me on this but I believe they have a good contact at Magnuson

[VegasNate]

Yeah, when i was price shopping I got some info from Andy. Their price is good but obviously did not include the install cost, since I'm way out here. The main issue is that the 2300 kit is not "pre made on the shelf". I think Livernois would still have to order the build. I'm not one who likes to bitch and moan but I'm doing it right now because I basically lived as a "hermit" to save up for this supercharger. I didn't go anywhere, weekends are always Netflix nights, and basically thought about it 24/7 in order to reach my goal. After many months of doing this, I still await the climax.:jerkoff:

We shall see whats happens.:wah:

:rant:

[VegasNate]

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for my tears to dry up and announce the arrival of my new baby. We shall name him, TVS 2300. He will arrive tomorrow and will be installed and dynoed by Wednesday. Can I get an Amen....... AMEN! Playtime is now over and all stats concerning this build will be posted as soon as they are available. Carry on.....

:woohoo: :headbang:

[G8GT594]

Congrats! Keep us updated!! Pics!

[GeorgeInNePa]

See if you can get it through livernois. Don't quote me on this but I believe they have a good contact at Magnuson

We have one of the best contacts @ Magnuson right here on this board:

[Scalarrthu]

It's about time! What day will you be bringing the car down to the shop? I shall stop by numerous times to check on it for you :)! Congrats Nate!!!

[VegasNate]

It's going in either Saturday or first thing Monday morning. I'll probably be in and out taking pictures of the progress. I'm pumped right now!

[foreosu]

Congrats dude! The car that I'm most envious of on here just got much, MUCH more enviable! You are one lucky bastard. :theman:

p.s. If you feel like giving away those wheels for free anytime soon, I'll volunteer to take them off your hands :)

[G8GT721]

thats awesome dude, can't wait for results

[VegasNate]

Thanks! I'm still very much attached to my wheels. Its usually the first thing people comment on. How's the local economy back there in the Dayton area? I used to work at the Moraine Delphi plant up until 2001. I took a voluntary buyout and never looked back.

Next time I'm back home we should meet up at The Pub at the Green. I doubt my car will be with me though!

[VegasNate]

I was actually at the shop yesterday when UPS delivered my kit. That thing is a BEAST! My car is in the shop for the install and will most likely be complete on Wednesday. More details and pics to come...

[VegasNate]

Here is the latest...Went to put the new intake on and ran into issues because I already did the DOD delete kit which requires a new valley tray cover. The new valley tray cover has a " nipple" sticking out in the front which prevents the intake from fitting properly. On the plus side, Joe from Magnacharger is coming out to Vegas tonight and has a valley tray that will work. Good luck for a change.:woohoo:

[Scalarrthu]

Haha, hey Nate, how much did Garth pay you to to take the picture of him looking like he's working??? ;) She's looking good so far! I'll be down at the shop tomorrow with Joe and Joe and the boys, so I'm sure I'll see you down there at some point....but I'll give you a call when I'm heading down that way. Congrats again!!!

The Dayton economy is seriously in the shitter. Delphi shut down, and I think it was the beginning of the end. West Chester and surrounding areas are all really booming though. A big pharma company from California moved in, and GE is opening a huge office off of the Union Center Exit. Springfield is starting to slowly grow towards Cincinnati, and it's all kind of becoming one large city w/ a not so noticeable gap between the two. That being said, badass on the supercharger. Can't wait to hear the results!

[BlownG8GT]

Glad that all worked out. Sorry for the delay!

[VegasNate]

It was always worth the wait. I'm still working on being patient. I'm way too excited right now.

[G8GT594]

can't wait to see some numbers. It'll give me an idea were my car will be this winter ;)

Smart move getting out of Delphi when you did. That will go down as a great decision in your life.

The Dayton economy is really, really struggling. Obviously with GM going down the tubes it hurts, but now that NCR is moving out, too, things are looking really bad. I was fortunate to get hooked up with a good job with the Home Depot in their distribution center down in Monroe, so I'm one of the lucky ones.

Give me a PM if you're ever home and we'll head out so you can ride in a "slow" G8 and appreciate how much faster your car is!

i might try to have sex with that car.

Should be done tomorrow evening.

I can't wait to see some video

[BobtheMonkee]

i'd like to see how this turns out. I'm still tryin to decide between the 1900 and 2300.

2300 all the way!!!:)

[VegasNate]

Almost done guys. No sleep for me tonight!

[incon3037r]

Looks good Nate. Great Job Garth, way to represent LV.

[jxhopper]

Hopefully they can fix the fitment issue so it doesn't require the accordian type fitting. Can't be great for airflow. Seems it would cause turbulance.

[Zippy]

2300 all the way!!!:)

:secret: I'm with him. Having done both the 1900 and 2300 I see no reason to not run the 2300 on everything 5.3L and bigger. We've done a 1900 on a bolt on GTO, 1900 on a 5.3L truck, and done a 2 bar tune on a 2300 on a 7.0L in a Suburban. We're also doing an SSR project using a 2300 on a 408 that will be completed soon. The biggest difference we've found from testing is that the 2300 really begins to shine as the boost goes up. If you were just going to bolt the blower on and keep it stock and at 6psi or so then go with the 1900. If you plan to run more than 6psi, run the bigger blower. Keep in mind that the ZR1 is only a 6.2L and uses a 2300 stock. I think by this winter or next spring there is going to be alot of guys wishing they'd spent the money for the bigger 2300 as they mod more. Once the final results are posted on this G8 it may get some people thinking that the 2300 is the better choice.

Like zippy said, the 2300 really shines above the 1900 and MagnaCharger is offering this great upgrade for $500.00. Like I said. 2300!!!!:) :)


PS: I am glad you agree!LOL!

Hurry up already :))

[Livernois Motorsports]

what are you guys doing for fuel? How much HP can the factory rails support?

Are you asking about the car we did? It had 60# injectors and a Boost-A-Pump and had enough fuel. We've made 700 + RWHP with stock rails.

That is some serious MPH! How is the transmission holding up?

Trans is holding up fine. Definitely good mph, now just needs a tire. Our 2007 Mustang GT weighs 3,780 w/ me in it and runs 10.70's @ 130 mph.

It didn't have ET Streets, it has 20" Nitto Drag Radials. You have to pedal it, but it hooked decent. There is a video of it on our YouTube. I don't want to Hijack Nate's thread too bad :)
