Think for yourself, people. Do your own research.

Obviously.
Demand is there because the 2300 is the better blower for a 6.2 liter engine.
Shops that are ordering these blowers already KNOW what they want, and why.

Straight from the man himself.
I don't care WHO you are quoting.
The larger blower (2300) will run cooler and offer more expandability.
As far as smaller is better....maybe for a turbo.
But, positive displacement blowers (TVS) make boost off idle , so going larger is NOT going to make a huge difference.

As far as the extra money...the 2300 cost $400 more than the 1900.
The 1900 comes stock on a $60,000 CTS-V. The 2300 comes stock on a $120,000 ZR1.
If you are sweating $400, forced induction (and modding in general) is NOT for you.

GM runs a 11 rib pulley system on their TVS 2300 (2009 ZR1) and it makes around 530rwhp.
You can easily make 530rwhp with a Camaro SS with addition of a TVS alone.(headers recommended)
So, a TVS 2300 should system should INCLUDE a wider pulley to begin with.

(By "debates on other forums", do you mean my threads being deleted and me being permanently banned because I posted FACTS like I have been?
Where are those a$$holes now that Magna CHOSE the 2300 for their Camaro system instead of the 1900?)

Dynos are for tuning.
