my dyno runs are on the same dyno. have been for a year and half. it is a new dyno jet at that. year and half old. old dyno jet's read higher.
1 degree of timing is 5 whp in my car.
the entire fuel control settings between rodimus's car and mine are completely different.
it just astounds me as to why people think it is such a miracle. it's not like im running some serious race tune or something here.
first off. don't ramp the timing in. you lose a lot of torque.
second. rev it over 7k. stock springs are fine to 7400. this applies to the tvs. not m62.
i ringed mine to 8k every single pull tonight for 12 pulls. 6 of those were no changes and every single time power was the same. no i don't have stock valve springs. hell im not even running the smallest pulley either. just a simple 3.1

For your information, my last dyno was 318/288 @ 7,395rpm w/ afr of 11.9 and 17* timing @ 69*F w/ 48% humidity; and was still on the way up. Stock air box mod, pacesetter header, 3" catless dp, 3" custom exhaust, secondary cobra h/e, no meth. IAT2's topped at 133*F after the third pull
Now go ahead and call bs on me all you want. My best friend is in auto performance at Ohio Northern University and liked to take my car up there to tinker around on. I'm not here to boast numbers and give in to the naysayers that are all over .net.

how is the TVS compared to the eaton for heat soak ?
Only Mase with Rebel has taken the step to go the extra mile in my area
and i am really interested about getting away frim the the heaton

All your questions are answered in other threads, namely the TVS FAQ thread

It does very well, i tested the absolute extreme at 28 psi and iat's were 145 at through the traps at 115.

raw ranks right up there with ed's shop in the middle of the desert selling stp oil from a can.
the case heat soaks faster due to it's size. it's a more efficient blower all around. lower iat2's and more air flow.
whoa whoa whoa. wait a second. 115? weksos!
oh wait. you started in second and couldn't shift above 6k
carry on!

the IAT2 will be cooler assuming all other factors are equal, as would the IM and the water throughout the HE system. Therefore, the TVS will not heatsoak the system as much as the M62...which is why everyone swaps instead of just lowering pulley sizes.

The tvs is a roots blower not a twinscrew

The blades look like a screw but there is no compression going on inside the blower.

im not callin bs on the numbers. mine did 307 on 17 degree's and 10.9 afr tonight on the rollers. i wasn't aiming to push the car to make massive numbers. been there done that. about once every 4 months i'll play around on the rollers to see what kind of shape the motor is in. don't compare summer gas to winter gas. winter gas cost me over 15whp

lol, that's just how this forum thing works. Everyone learns off each other.
Except for Area, he breaks into people's houses at night and steals their wine corks. Not quite sure how that helps him but who am I to judge?

so just out of curiosity, would it help if you tried to port the TVS at all? and i noticed that is doesnt the silencer holes like the m62 yet it is still a quieter whine for some reason any one know?

The TVS is designed for maximum performance and a direct statement from HARROP itself states: "Porting the HTV1320 can and will decrease performance and void warranty. Through extensive testing it has been designed to be the most effective directly from the manufacturer"
The is no reason to port the tvs though its inlet and outlet are rather optimal for the lsj.
