    What is this 6th gen he is referring to btw? Eaton only shows a 5th Gen roots, and a TVS roots... he did the TVS and it was "glorious" and way over budgeted... so what is a 6th Gen?
    6th gen is the TVS.

    PS, I still question where he got his data. Because most of the stuff Eaton has on their site as Gen V, isn't our Gen V. If you notice, he avoids direct questions most of the time. Skips right over, causes a little drama to mask the lack of answers.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    That was my thought but the way I read his post VVV made me question if I was missing something.
    The TVS is a substantial investment... relatively speaking.
    With that said... it's not even in the same world as the m90 blowers.

    Hopefully in the near future people can afford to swap the 6th gen blowers on 3800 motors. We would see some very impressive roots blower numbers on the ole' 3.8.

    Spoiler alert: It's happening right now
    We all know he did the TVS and considering it was a $1800 project it didn't yield substantial gains to match the cost. A turbo build would cost about the same with alot more power increase, which is why the ol' Paxton Novi setup went bye bye.

    From what I was told, he made money selling the TVS setup compared to what he paid for it and now is turbo making crazy power. To each their own I guess. Me, I'm throwing heads and an IC on my current setup and hope to make 330whp on 93 with the help of a smaller pulley of course.
