Im new to the forum i have had my tbss for about 2 years now it is an 07 i put kooks catless long tubes and corsa catback and k&n cold air intake. I have had it dynoed at 389hp. I am thinking about getting with lingenfelter and having them install the magnuson tvs 1900 package kit hopefully get me over 500hp and i think i will be happy. Does anyone have any other suggestions to make this still a fun daily driver for when i get back from iraq? thanks in advance
I am sure he has a tune. Headers, catback and K&N are not going to gain crap. Those dyno numbers are very good.
The K&N is fine in my opinion as long as you are not using the K&N open airbox. They actually flow pretty decent but wouldnt have initially spent the money on one when you could buy a vector,ADM, pcmforless,IEATSRT8, Jettstream, etc for similar money (or less).
You were right I looked at the dyno sheet it says 367.44 Hp and 373 max tq. So you guys think that with a trans cooler and the tvs 1900 I should be good to go thanks for the input. Has anyone dealt with lingenfelter at all?
You need a built trans if you get a 1900! Ya ya ya you have a guy that will say "I'm on a 1900 with stock trans" screw that it will go so fast. Go with a trans cooler, built trans and a 1900
Cooler will lengthen the life of the trans. Wouldn't say it won't or will break. There are peeps here that run Maggie's maybe 6..8#'s on stock trans with big miles and have had no issue. My opinion is this you need to do the reinforcing mods before big HP mods...ie; fbodies with high HP motors blowing stock rear ends. Why go down that road of headaches.
There are members on here selling their Maggie's. Bullnettles is selling his 112 & 8-rib setup for about half the cost of a new 1900, 6-Rib setup. That will give you 8# of boost.
