This is with the stock pulley, but we order all kits with no tuner and custom tune them on the dyno.

Thank you,

Rick

Rick - Is this the same package that Jeff has installed on his car that he has posted on Youtube above?
I am only looking to go with the basic package with no other modification besides an axle back to improve the sound.

Are there other modification your shop suggests with this basic package to insure reliability and longevity of the car and S/C system?

What additional maintenece can I expect to have to do with this TVS S/C system?

Thanks

This is the same package Jeff has, except he added the Rotofab Cold Air Intake.

These kits are very reliable and there is really no additional maintenance.

Thank you,

Rick

I am beginning to sway towards Livernois...

Going there Friday morning to chew the fat with Rick. Rick doesn't know that yet, but there will be some fat chewing.

Tom,

I'll be here and welcome you to come and check the shop out. Some of the crew will be at the LSX Shootout in Memphis, some will be at the Shakedown in E-Town, but I'll be in the office all day.

I'm not sure how many Camaros will still be in the shop, but you can check out the ones that are. I know we have several scheduled to pick up for this package.

I'll look forward to meeting you Friday.

Regards,

Rick LeBlanc

Ok Rick let's say I go with your shopto install this TVS 2300 system. Two months later I have serious problems with my car and it is determined to be due to the S/C, or the S/C itself has a problem. How do I go about getting my car repaired?

Do I have to get it back to your shop? Do I have to pay the cost of shipping and be without the car for a week or so?

Can I take it to a local shop that you deem satisfactory to do the work or correspond with you regarding the issue?

Would you have another shop perform repairs if needed on your equipment and have them bill you for the work or would I bill you for the work if it was still under the 36/3 warranty I get from you? Or do I have to bring it to you for all repairs?

As you may can tell by my questions I am really close to making a final decision and calling you to place an order but I will make sure I cover all bases before I make a decision like this.

Thanks JP

Thanks for the info but I guess my questions refer more to where do I take my car if I have a problem with the S/C itself; or a problem that may be related to the S/C or its set-up?

If I get it installed at shop A out of state possibly, do I have to take my car to shop A for repair? Especially if the problem is something covered under the S/C warranty or the additional warranty I may purchase from the shop that does the install?

Is the additional 36/3 warranty available offered by the installer to cover all other work like the tune and installation? I would think so since the Magna charger itself has a 3 year warranty from time of sale?

Sorry, I know I have a lot of questions, some may be redundant, but I want to make sure I have a clear understanding of everything before I make this move.

The Coils and plug wires are not touched during this installation. There is a engine cover from the factory this not reinstalled with out cutting the center section out. That cover does hide the coils and wires.

Cool, so you just cut out that center portion and re-install the rest to cover the coils and plug wires? Or do you just get some type of custom cover for those parts?

Can;t wait to hear how it rides.

The entire cover is removed when the supercharger is installed and the wires and coils are exposed. I'm sure a custom cover can be developed.

So you guys do not offer a custom cover yet? Do you know of any clients that have purchased a custom cover after your installation?

Thanks
