So Luigi's car is running the 1900. I thought I read the new ZR1 is running the 2300. I wonder why the difference.

Surf,
It is hard to tell. When I first saw the engine I thought it was the 2300 as well but then I was told it was a 1900.
Here is what is on my car
- TVS

and here is what is shown on the Magnuson website:

Please tell me which one you think it is. I thought it
was the 2300 but was just repeating what I was told.

I believe the exterior dimensions between the two are identical. Im not sure you can tell the difference by a visual inspection. Hmmmmm

Dimensional schematics of the new TVS blowers...supposedly the two cases are the same.

The numbers you posted in the schematics say otherwise

Oh i see it. I missed the length....tho I would not think 1.5" would not be discernible in a picture.

If you count the number of crates on the blowers in the schematics, the upper blower case shows 7 crates, the lower blower shows 8 crates.
Unfortunately, the two schematics are not labelled as to which model is which.
Looking at one of the pictures that I took of my car, I just counted the number of crates. I count 8.
Surf, can you put the model numbers to the schematics?

Also if you go

Mine looks like the one that appears under Kenny Dutweillers 950HP LSX video which is the 2300 (8 crate).
Just an observation.

The statement below applies to the usual blower, not the TVS blower. It would not suprise me if it applies to the TVS blowers, but I don't know that for a fact. You've got a 1900 unit. The 2300 isn't shipping. Last I talked to Callaway, they said they were in the process of engineering the 2300 for the Vett but didn't have any other information to share at the time.

As the sole distributor of the Corvette Supercharger Im pretty sure Callaway has early access to them. I know the blower on Luigi's car has been on the car for a while. There is no reason its not the 2300 from that standpoint.
I would also guess they did not re-engineer the casing for front vs rear intake, which would mean the "8 crate" blower would = 2300
Just my thoughts.
