I believe the Whipple 2.9L supercharger kits are 50 state CARB legal

 

Thanks, I was inferring that we probably cannot find CARB maggie kits, but for Whipple, aren't people having issues with them?

 

Funny you mention this. I inquired with them on Monday about that kit. Said the same thing, only to try superchargersonline.com. I've been kicking the idea around of supercharging mine as well. Maybe leaning the LSA route, but like Ira said.... I want to keep it reliable at the same time.

 

i have the heartbeat 2300, not 1 problem. but if i was starting new, i would go the 2650 route.

TVS2300/2650 SUPERCHARGER KIT | CHEVY SS

Harrop has expanded its existing range of Supercharger Kits to include the largest, most-efficient rotating group ever produced by Eaton, the TVS2650 to suit the Chevy SS.

The real problem is agenda interference:
Supercharger gas mileage is superior to vehicles running non-supercharged engines. This happens because an engine supercharger increases the amount of oxygen entering the engine’s combustion chamber. The greater the amount of oxygen, the more complete the fuel burns. More complete fuel burning yields greater engine power and lower emissions. Since adding superchargers to stock vehicles is not a difficult task, and because they are not very expensive, installing a supercharger is a good way to increase fuel efficiency, and gas mileage.

 

I guess it’s good I ordered the Maggie kit back in July

 

No. It's a DOHC VVT V6. But Trifecta claims their tunes are invisible. It's popular with V Series, Turbo and Twin turbo GM late model vehicles.

 

They've always been a little dodgy when bringing up the issue of their tunes by nature will change the checksum for how many times the PCM has been written, which could flag a dealer warranty. But I believe they've stood behind the fact you can flash back to stock and satisfy CARB. Interesting yours with a modified tune didn't cause a CARB issue (are you in Calli willy?).

I always worry NY will go down the CARB route with that, since OBD2 has been a godsend for the EFI hot rodders vs. the old sniffer. Fortunately in 2 years the TA falls into classic territory either way

 

This must be some sort of California stuff??

 

Just had a 2300 installed last week. Must have been one of the last ones I guess. I'm lucky I ordered it when I did. I suppose I could have gone with the 2650 instead, although I'm not sure if the extra $1500 would be worth it.

 

Might be picking mine up today🤞
