Ive driven a 2.8KB car and my car had a 2.3L Whipple... Hands down, the TVS is the best blower (IMO of course lol). You just can't beat the TQ

For the guys that went from the stock Eaton with a pulley to the VMP TVS, does the TVS feel like it gave up any torque down low (sub 3K-4K RPM)?

NO!!! Mine hits harder now then it did with 2.76 pulley and 125shot of nitrous. The VMP should come with a set of tires. Lol

Anyone else very disappointed with the inlet on these?

Just installed a unit on bandit5.4's car, and the only thing I really didn't like about the blower was the location of the pcv nipple on the blower, but the inlet was horrid.

The color doesnt match the blower very well.The casting looked terrible, especially on the inside, and the outside surface was not even from corner to corner. As far as fitment, the opening for the throttle plates was not even close to matching and shaped wrong, and the oring channel for the side that bolts to the blower was way off center, almost all the way to the edge on one side and was too small for the oring provided.

Overall I loved the tvs itself, but the inlet was an eyesore in comparison, and needed a bit of grinding for throttle blade fitment and had to be rtv'd to the blower.

Blake,
We appreciate your input.
Did you contact the shop?
I don't recall hearing about this.
If there is a problem we would like the opportunity to make it right.

I told paul to inform you guys about it, but he drove from out of town to get it installed so we had to make it drive able. It was Sunday so we could not contact at the time.

We took pictures in case you guys needed them. I'll remind him to call you.
