Well for starters the tvs was a bad design imo. Always had rear belt and idler bearing issues. Had to pull blower every time it had an issue. 417 with tvs and c16 race gas and 14psi boost 745rwhp 711rwtq. New setup with 10psi and 93 pump gas 716rwhp and 735 rwtq. Lsa is more efficient and reliable. Makes better torque and takes less to spin. Way better blower and has gm engineering. I'm just way happier in the 750-850 hp range than before. Cost is better also in the end but that was nothing to do with it. Later if you want a bit more then upgrade to a heartbeat setup for the lsa.
