Nor have I

But OTT is just an awesome company with good people and they will risk a sell just to help you get your moneys worth

Please PM. This is a thread for all the lost souls trying to do the TVS swap and most do not want to sift thru random BullShit for the info.

Post somewhere else

to get max power out of the tvs, you have to raise the rev limit to 7500. this gives you a window of 200 rpms above peak power.

mine holds power all the way to 8k. don't do this on stock springs, or without large *****. larger object moving more air will move the powerband around a bit. you will see this on turbo cars as well

thats excellent info. Area, did you test any cams with the TVS on? have you tried adjustable cam gears? wondering what would work best. Especially because the TVS moves the powerband higher in the RPMS.

I think he figured out stock cams with cam gears made more power then GM performance cams, I could be wrong though

Well, i know that a lot of people including GM Performance Division feel that way as well, but the TVS is a different beast, just curious if he has tested his cams with this one as well.

Tom, are you planning on running a 3" intake, or staying with the ABM? Also, with an LS4 TB on this thing, throtle response must be brutal.

Well, I plan to upgrade as money allows, but I have an Injen waiting to go on at the moment. Free parts FTW.

The LS4 TB is Touchy with a capitol T. Once relearning to drive with the change in throttle response and a little timing tweak, it's all good
