TVS still lags behind by about 30-40hp but still has a nice lower end punch. Only way the TVS cannot keep up is when the Whipple 2.9's add lower pulleys to smaller uppers.


Personally, I am just a fan of the TVS. Half the people at the track look at my car and think it still has the stock blower on it, and that is a lot of fun. I would give up 30hp anyday for the tq advantage with the TVS. One day when I kill the stock motor I might go bigger, but probably not before then.

Well, until ou add a lower to the whipple, then the gap is even larger.

Ya...I'm just a plain 'ole whore. Nothing specialized!

You and me both! But like they said, who cares! :thumb:

how's the vinyl holding up since it was installed? is there anything special you had to do to keep it clean and looking good?

I have not done anything special at all in keeping it clean. It still looks like the day it was put on.


I miss it being black though. :crazy:
I'm thinking about pulling the wrap off and getting a Cervini's cowl hood.

My new wheels should be here soon :).

Love me some Cowl! You talking about getting rid of the wrap entirely or just to replace the hood and get the cowl wrapped?

I was actually thinking about removing the entire wrap. I'm still on the fence about it though. I'm just getting tired of the orange, it's too flashy and I'm kind of "over it". If I take the wrap off I'll definitely get the hood and also the cobra emblems with red inserts.

Lol well that was quick! How long has it been on like 2 months?
