From a Honda Civic to a SS .....really.....good to know. I really want to feel like the car will be greatly improved for the investment. So far everyone seems to feel there is a big and improved difference from stock.

Thanks

It Truly gives the car a WHOLE new feel. I think my car pulls harder in 4th gear at low RPMs then it did in 2nd gear with out the maggie.

I still have the stock, 3.8, pulley on mine and its ridiculous. I don't think I'll ever go back to driving a non-boosted car. I have had nitrous cars in the past and this kills them.

It will feel like a completely different car, definitely worth the money. 3rd gear pulls as hard as 1st did when it was stock. . .

See if you can find someone to take you for a ride it will make your decision easy.

Yeah now thats what I really was hoping to hear, that the car still drives and handles well, but feels like a different and improved car.

I might try to find someone in my area to ask for a ride in a blown SS before I go for the gold. There are some guys in my area that have had this mod, I've talked to a few in the past when I was considering this upgrade this past winter. Thanks for the feedback

I am with the rest of the group as I could not have made a better choice than to go with the Maggie. With regards to everyday driving the car is like stock, but when your ready, hang on because it's one hell of a ride! In my opinion, due to the heavy weight of the Camaro, it really needs the sc. You cannot go wrong if your going to move forward in this direction. Good luck!

Great to hear all the positive driving experience regarding the TVS2300. Good to know that most of the comments all seem very consistant.

This is what the camaro should be from factory. It is a beast just laying in wait. Mine drives so smooth, but when you open it up, you will turn heads a block away. Take a few friends for a ride and they will be looking for an "oh shit handle" in no time. It will throw you into the seat, and hold you there. Imagine holding down the gas pedal and having horsepower through all the gears. I've had 572 in a street rod and it never felt like this does. I don't have all the suspension mods yet, but this car still hooks up. It will take time, but you can learn to drive it with limited tire spin. It's a fun ride, worth every penny I spent.

It's almost like I started a marketing thread for you guys! but really it seems like you have a great product for the 2SS.

Can you recommend any installers in the DC/MD/VA area, any shops that you consider certified installers of the TVS2300?

Glad all the guys and gals are posting their experiences, good positive thread IMO.

Thanks
