No problem, I don't regret my decision at all, but I think taking a ride in each is the best way to make your choice.
Agreed. Any choice will be a lot of $. Want to get it right the 1st time because I don't have the $ for do-overs.
Can you PM me your contact info and I will do the same. Hopefully we make that trip next month.
OP, the TVS feels very raw and angry(fun). The Paxton feels like a plane on a runway, very smooth and controlled but it just keeps pulling harder and harder. The Paxton is almost deceivingly fast. You don't really know how fast your going until you look at the speedo climbing.
If you want to scare/impress people who ride in the car, get the TVS, if you want a little more controlled power that feels more like a turbo, get the Paxton.

Are your serious because I could have bought a 3-4 TVS and not hurt my wallet. You bought a TVS because you can't afford a whipple, who wants to be limited to 800rwhp or less when spending a decent amount of money.
Paxtons have put people well into the 9s while the TVS have only cracked them. It was either twin turbo or a Paxton set-up for me but went with the Paxton for bang for the buck. Once I build my motor and get tired of it I'm gonna skip right over a Pos. Displacement sc and go for a turbo set-up.
Turbo, my vote is turbo

I have had all three (turbo, procharger, tvs magnacharger). Id def choose the tvs. Love the instant hit. Im selling my tvs in the market section if your interested. Selling the car.
Damn must be a baller for you to have the opurtunity to buy 3-4 tvs setups and not even dent your wallet. But then you skimped on getting tuned by a no name shop for your paxton.

Not this debate again....Im from the paxton camp so go paxton!
If it was MY car. which is a Daily/ saturday night 40 roll car for fun. Paxton.
:lol::lol:
Whoa so cool man! Everyone on the internet is so impressed that you're bragging about your money!
If you're such a baller, why do you own a GT? Where's the shelby? What a jack wagon...
Easy dude. Some people don't want more power than what's manageable on the street. I don't want my Whipple to spin over 800RWHP because what good is it if it doesnt get put down?
The Paxton looks more oem under the hood. I didn't buy a Paxton Bc i couldn't afford a TVS :shrug: Dick
I'm pretty happy with the Paxton. Honestly I think I would go TVS if I could do it over. I like blower whine. I think the TVS guys said on stock pulley the whine is pretty low though. I can be in the power band anytime with these short ass 3.73s
One of the TVS guys said he ran a 11.2 on STOCK tires with a TVS. So that means that not only do you get more torque but also get better traction (sarcasm)

Dollar wise I see the bang for the buck with the paxton. But I do love the look and torque of the roush. Also the instant boost probably makes the roush more fun on the road. Im Leaning more towards the roush at this current moment.
There is no way the paxton looks more factory than the roush. A big silver snail as soon as you open up the hood. If it was black like the vortech is would blend in alot better. But neither look bad under the hood.
I wouldn't call Pat O'Gorman a no name.....

He tune's/drives for Hennessey full time right now and leaves most of his shop work to Benny (who did the initial tune which I didn't know at the time). He was the man when it came to lightnings but just doesn't have much experience with 2013 auto's with centrifugal type blowers. I've been patient with Pat working with him exclusively off and on for the past month to dial in the tune and will try to make it to the track to see the progress.
Reason for going with someone local is it's always nice to have a tuner down the street vs 2 hours away (Daniel with TSS) or Shaun which I would have had to datalog and put it on the dyno to get things right. I wanted my car driving on the road right then and there and not have to wait by going with the other options I mentioned. Hell if it doesn't pan out with Pat I will be going to TSS but at least I know I don't have to tow my car over there to get tuned this time.
As far as bragging about money I believe it was this guy saying us Paxton guys couldn't afford a TVS and I was simply saying I could afford 3-4 of them without hurting my wallet....end of story.
The reason why I didn't go 2013 GT500 was simple 70k vs 45k for a GT with a SC that will be side by side for 25k less.....you do the math. Don't know why all this hate when it comes to Paxton vs TVS especially when everyone picks the two for different reasons. If you just want a street monster go with TVS if you want something that can put you in the 1000hp range go Paxton.
