2007 lsj with TVS
Thats what everyone else charges for them. BUT you must rebuild it following either of the two guides on how to do so. If that sounds too difficult for you, you should buy the qualife unit.
ok well guys, now that i have some more cash since im selling my street bikes, im planning on building up my 07. i wanna do a TVS set up. it will be daily driven mostly. im parking it this winter so ill have plenty of time to do mods. i wanna reach the 300+ WHP, perferbaly 330WHP. i have gm cat back, injen intake. im planning on letting nick from BYT do the tuning. what other mods do i need? should i do internals? id like to get away without doing the internals if i can. BTW, i recently found out my car does not have the g85 package, no LSD, is this a big deal? i will have aftermarket motor/trans mounts for sure, and ingalls. thanks guys!

dont need axles
LSD isnt as big a deal as people are making it.. is it nice? for sure.. and definitely worth it if u r driving the car hard a lot. for a car being daily driven mostly. not needed.
no internals needed
if u have the powell motor and trans mounts.. no need for ingalls.. will just add vibs inside cabin
for example
i made 330/272 on TVS 2.9 ring, CIA header, 3 inch downpipe WITH a hi flo cat, 2.5 magnaflow cat back, OTT heat exchanger, k&n intake, custom tune... and meth
no dual pass
no head work
No over the top exhaust
60lb injectors...
0 internals... stock longblock
if u wanna make 300 to 330 on a TVS. go do it.. dont stick with the M62 if u dont want to.
IIRC only 1 or 2 made 300 on M62 and that was with E85
I guess for the daily driver its no big deal. But it makes a monster of difference in corner exit ability, enough so that its worth almost 2 seconds on your typical 60 second auto-x course.
I mean it is a daily driving and I do beat on it at least once a day lol
But I do have the mounts but from ZZP, same **** I believe..
But I mean if its not necessary then I'd rather not..

300+WHP TVS doesn't come w/o raising octane.

Although, octane & timing are what make the TVS shine, so I some what agree with your statement.

My car was almost undriveable in the rain before the Quaife doing 260 whp. I don't understand people just wanting power power power and not giving a damn about the chassis. Not my thing
I dont think most people drive too aggresively in the rain. Mine doesnt have LSD but it always spins 2 tires....but then again my trans was replaced under warrantee years ago for a leaking axel seal so maybe it IS LSD now lol
And I dont know about you guys but my chassis is stiff enough that when I pull out of those these parking lots in the city I dangle a front wheel and I have to just coast out of it, then the tire that was in the air chirps because it spun up. Sure a torsen diff wouldnt eliminate that, but with the correct pre-load I would put some power to the wheel on the ground.

What drives me nuts is people on this site still don't understand how/where a limited slip helps.
You can spin both tires and be just as fast in a straight line with an open diff.
A limited slip helps when you are coming out of corner and accelerating. My car is just fine in the rain and always spins both tires when getting on it from a dead stop, and when shifting from 1st - 2nd at WOT.
Although if you are a road racer or auto cross a limited slip is a must.
(Infra i know you knows this.... I quoted your post because it contains correct information.)
Fyi, if you are unsure if the new trans is an LSD or not check the I.D. tag on the top of the trans. It will say LSD if it is one.

whether or not you put down an 11 or a 1 when accelerating straight with an open diff comes down to essentially luck. Are your wheels pointed straight enough and is there equal enough grip levels at both wheels will determine if you make a 11 or a 1. Also there is built in preload and bias in the open diff from both design and manufacturing tolerances.
mine didnt come with it, so i installed a LSD trans when i did my gmp clutch. Im not gonna lie it did make a difference especially now at the power level im at. And you do not need to go turbo to make 300whp that is a joke
while i admire what zzp has done that post right there is just ignorant. If he said he wanted 400whp then id say go turbo. While you guys make awesome products there is no need to give mis imformation to promote products. And actually i run many of your parts on my car and have had good results. I run just as fast as tims ion on my stock 72k motor

Ill check the trans sometime, although im guessing its still open diff since it doesnt hold traction in the corners like my friend's G85 lnf...but I guess power delivery is different on a blower than a pte5557 lol
