Yeah. But what is the better fitting, better built and better result between the mag tvs2300 and the whipple 2.9

Nice! let's see some pics please.

Looking at a '17 LTZ Calloway right now. Maybe just get a LTZ and go this direction.
TVS2300 on 2013 Denali XL
TVS1900 on 2013 Silverado with LTs
TVS2300 on 1972 Blazer with LQ4, cam and LTs
Whipple 2.9 on 2015 Chevy SS

Still deciding on which kit for 2016 Denali.

Think my buddy said it best

For street and even spirited driving, it is hard to tell a difference assuming the shop tunes it right and you're not doing crazy mods or using non pump gas

So go with the shop you trust the most and pick from who they support

Geez. Upon supercharger time, it seems like the perfect time for a set of cnc heads and a cam....

Man slippery slope! Must must must go back to work!

Who's hiring old and broken...and crotchety?

For all of you with supercharged GMT900s- You have no problems with your motor mounts? Have they ever been replaced?

I have a magnuson tvs1900 for about 55,000 miles and the original motor mounts and I have no problems with them...

That's the kind of stuff I just don't get. Stock trucks that rarely or never tow and the driver's side mount rips apart around 50-100K miles. They replace them with OEM brand parts and they're broken again in 10-, 20-, maybe upwards of 40K miles. But, you clowns are running around with 100+ extra horses yanking on aged stock mounts with no issues. You'd think the problem would be widespread among the boosted community and a company such as Callaway would include special mounts with their conversions.

People rarely think about the ancillary mods that really make upgrades work reliably or completely.
So companies don't tack on additional parts which up the cost if they don't have too.

If you supercharge a truck, theoretically you have engine trans mounts, the bushings on the rear suspension, fuel hardware, Exra cooling, brakes, aos, spark, etc etc etc that you should think about at the same time...
That $5500 supercharger can cost around $10k to make it a complete all around, ready for what it can do, type project!
