-It is capable of making over 700 rwhp on a GT500. That calculates to about 800 fwhp. As I've said, this is my daily driver and I'm still going to use it as a truck, towing and hauling, so reliability is one of requirements. A Whipple 2.9, 3.4, and a Kenne Bell are all capable of making more hp than the TVS, but at what cost? Can I still use straight pump gas? Is it streetable? If I was building a truck for the track, yes, the big Whipple or the Kenne Bell Mammoth would be the way to go, but for me, the TVS suits my needs.

How much cheaper is the TVS then the KB?
KB is just as reliable,a direct bolt on for your gt500,you can still use pump gas.Just as streetable as any roots or twin-screw blower.
You can make the same power spinning the big blower slower,producing less heat. So you can run more timing on pump gas.
Not trying to argue ,but just wondering if you've done all the research?
