Trying to gather info to go tvs soon. Plan on waiting to find a used tvs somewhere down the road no big rush my questions are what are bare minimum to run a tvs? Seen a few guys running stock throttle body an air box mod. I already have option b (not on the car) full exhaust. I plan on getting 60's injectors an run a zzp canned tune until I can get it HP tuned it is my daily so all this plays a big part an turbo swap is little to pricey right now for me. What else should I need to run it besides what I have or plan on getting thanks for the help!

 

Tvs And 60s are the minimum And the tune obviously
But 80s are your best bet depending on what you plan on doing
I Strongly suggest doing full exhaust and more cooling mods

Cooling mods really aren't "needed". They're over rated in a lot of ways and too many people drink the kool aid on them. They're good for recouping IAT2's faster after a pull which is great for the track but that's about it.

 

Blue is right on the cooling mods, but if you wanted to do something to improve cooling and practically free move your stock h/e in front of your ac condenser. And i would recommend 80s instead of 60s just bc more room for more power if you ever wanted it. Also i would recommend a full exhaust header back. What kind of power goals are you looking for?

 

This.

 

Im about to move my stock HE as well, even with cooling mods i was seeing IAT2s in the 150 range on the dyno

 

My goals with the car are making around 325hp witch shouldn't be to hard of a goal with tvs. I want to be safe but still have fun with the car an like I said it is my daily so it will have to be reliable. But still want some meet left on the bone for down the road (more mods)

 

Just wanting to make sure its safe running stock motor intake throttle body an moving heat exchanger up front sure I might grab a front mount an run option b seen a lot of guys during my research running pretty much stock stuff still getting good #'s an still pretty safe don't plan on doing anyyy type of meth injection not a fan of the idea

 

Probably 90% of the people that run a TVS are on the stock throttle body. The LS4 has its pros and cons.

You'll be happy with your TVS power for a little while then want more. If there's 2 things a TVS likes its timing and revs. Want more timing, your gonna have to go to E85 or meth.

 

if you want safe leave it stock the second you take any engine from stock configuration you are loosing reliablity
