Maggie TVS2300 driving experiences....
For everyone here on the forum please give me some feedback on how your driving experience changed in the 2SS once you put on the maggie TVS2300....besides the need for new tires or course.
Is there a big difference from the stock ride and feel? I mean does it feel like a completely different car when driving it? To use a golf analogy: sometimes you can play the same course but go all the way back to the tips and it's like your playing a completely different course...does this make sense to anyone ....does adding the maggie make it feel like you are driving a different car? Do you guys feel that the improvements you get from the added HP and performance are always noticeable or just when you are driving aggressively? And do you feel its worth the $7-8K spent? I guess I want to feel like my car has a noticeable and constant improvement if I put the TVS2300 on it and run at 8psi. Want to feel like my car is new again and upgraded. Thoughts from maggie owners/installers out there, thanks |

It drives a little different.. Grip is certainly an issue, but it is very sweet. Handles the same. Acceleration is awesome and with traction control off, hang on !!!

I don't have the Stock Pirelli's on. I have Toyo Proxes 4 all the way around. The grip issue is that I am putting over 600 RWHP. Let me clarify, driving normal or even a little hard, grip is not an issue, drag racing has a grip issue. See my signature for a list of my mods (not just motor mod's, but I have suspension mod's as well). I would not trade it a bit, I love my car. I have over 30,000 miles on it and have loved every second of it..

I'm not a Maggie owner, but it might help others to know whether your car is a L99 or LS3.

Granted I may be biased......But it can be described pretty simple: Imagine you removed the LS3 and installed a 572 Rat motor in your Camaro
I too am interested in everyone's driving experiences, I think we can use some new quotes on our website |

I have an automatic transmission and the way I try to describe the experience is - on WOT it goes into passing gear and out of nowhere a second passing gear kicks in and doesn't let up - or at least until you get out of the throttle. The car handling feels more or less the same, although while WOT, the car feels a bit lighter. It's a very addictive feeling. Like a roller coaster that you just want to keep riding over and over again... Time for you to T Up...

The driving experience after the blower is completely different than stock, imagine 125+ HP more from about 2000 RPM to redline. |

I couldn't be happier with the TVS2300.
Going from a SS to a SS with a Maggie, Is like going from a Honda Civic to a SS. |
