Tip for anyone running or considering a TVS
Stick with the 2.75" if you are on stock cams or the 2.9 if your cammed. This is of course unless you intend to run race gas daily.

I would also like to add, from my experience with TVS, do not drop below the 3.1" pulley if you are not running meth or race gas as well.

I assume you guys ran into the same issue.

you might want to clarify something as well. the cams is a more or less a loaded deal. i ran into the same problem with the stock m62 with the 272's. below a certain point you are just pissing the useable air out the ass end of the car due to overlap of the cam itself.

i knew what was going on just by reading between the lines.

gmr cams > 272

Also is the 2.9 and cammed on the 272 grinds?

i don't like the 272's much, its a cam suited for a turbo car. You can run a 2.75 with no meth and make power. I dont know were frazier was going with that one. Maybe refering to witts car.
