Maggie TVS2300 driving experiences.... - Page 7 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

most miles... my buddy as a 2000 camaro 192,000 its a vortek though...... if I remember right he dynoed 440 at the wheels....... I dont think you are going to find to much bad.... as long as you have a good tunner's around like Ted, they ar very very safe to run.... I bet he could slap one on a 0 mile car and drive it 250,000 miles with good maintenance.. of course if you are flooring it from every read light, and at the track running 10 runs every time they are open.. some stuff might tear up....

It is the best money spent on any mods I've done so far. Jannetty did my Maggie install as well as headers, cats, fuel pump voltage booster and tune. It is like a completely different car. If you can afford it, DO IT! After the install Ted got the car to 491 RWHP with 514 torque. Torque is FUN!

I am actuall going to do headders, and drive train stuff first. then Im going to save up order mine from ted and install it my self... then its gona be time for a road trip to let him dyno tune my set up... Im gona get the 8psi set up to start with though...

I was considering a cam, but I think I would rather go this way. I wont need a stall..... same MPG... then if I ever get boored with it.. I can get a cam..

I have heard great things about Teds tune but have a question. His tunes are done by hand held tuners so how can you tell what your HP/Tq numbers are without putting putting it on a dyno.

Supermaro585HP · 10-29-2011, 04:01 PM

I have a Edelbrock supercharger on mine and I can tell you I have about $8500.00 in it and it is worth every penny. I love pulling up to other Camaros and being able to kick their asses. I have stock tires on and they will changed this spring because they don't hook up very good. Bottom line is it is worth the money.. JUST DO IT.

mgoodbar · 10-29-2011, 06:39 PM

black night 11.... you cant really.. about all you can do is take it to a dyno, or to the track..... If I can get back out to the track soon I will.. I can load my stock tune on the car and run it. Then I can load Teds tune on and run it.. I did that last time I was there.. grantid I was getting KR with my stock tune. I ran a 13.6 -13.8 stock run file.. Teds tune, with reduced timing per my request, so I would not show no kr. 13.3 with my new tune I should be around 12.8 since he was able to put all the timing back in... due to my factory cats being the cause of my KR....

It was on a dyno, at Ted's shop. Crazy fun to watch!

Maybe replaced clutches, engines blown, anything?

There are, but, there are also those on non-FI engines as well -- and, can't really blame the Maggie for the failures. All of us that put FI on our cars should understand where the weakness are and what is most likely to fail under excessive use. Just comes with the territory. The TVS2300 for these cars is actually quite reliable.

My only real complaint is my gas bill due to excessive use of the right pedal after install..

n2oSS · 10-30-2011, 12:18 PM

I can give you a negative, for 7 grand it really doesnt feel like your getting the upgrade you would think performance wise. After i first installed it i really wasn't impressed at all, i was actually pretty pissed. It just didn't feel like it changed much.

Keep in mind i came from a 350z with 150 shot and before that little turbo four bangers. You felt hp changes in those cars alot since they are lighter and weaker to start.

What it took to get my maggie to not go in a for sale thread. A) we got a bunch of cheap asses here, wasn't worth selling. B) Went down a few pulley sizes and solved belt tension problem which woke it up quite a bit. C) Did some suspension upgrades so my car would go straight instead of sideways. D) tires coming soon with wider size and stickier.

Everything bolted up ok, time consuming but nothing too complicated. I would suggest getting rid of the heater hoses they give, flimsy and can crimp easy with turns you have to make. Get a smaller pulley that 3.8 is for people who just wanna show they have a supercharger i think.

Jessika · 10-30-2011, 05:35 PM

The 3.8 pulley is what is needed to CARB certify the kit for emissions purpose. It's easy enough for you to swap a couple pulleys & reach your goal.
6 lbs of boost may not be what everyone settles with, but it's a great starting point!

Your gas peddle gets longer with a Maggie!

3.4 pulley - 500 RWHP L99... @10psi (car has 1 7/8" headders)

As far as traction goes....Do you lose traction from a roll if you go WOT...Say 35 pmh to 60mph or 45mph on up etc???

With the computer full on, there's a slight chirp then I grab and go.

With Comp Mode on, there's more tire noise, but I do eventually grab and go

When the TCS/ST is full off -- It's a bit scary and I generally don't even do it on public roads unless it's a flat road, no ditch, no traffic and plenty of room on the sides for sliding.. But, I will definitely loose traction this way if I just mat it from 35. This way, the only idiot that gets hurt is me. I don't do this anywhere else as it's just not safe.
