stage 2 or tvi 720
I have the dyno sheets from Stock, Stage 1 minus the TM45 and then the Full stage 1 (added the TM45). The increase after it was dyno tuned was about 3hp. This was on Skip's Dyno here in Vegas. I will say that when I put the TM45 on I lost one HP and after it was tuned on his dyno I was up 3+. That said, I would think that the TM 45 was worth about 2+hp. I think that you will see the benefit when you go to a high compression piston, cams and a little head work. I think mine will be going in sometime in January for the full stage two treatment and head work by Skip.
HOPE to get another 8 - 10hp. Am I dreaming?

lilnotts,
I got my 720 kit back from Gary (it's still in the box hopefully this weekend I start putting it back together) and when he called me back to answer some questions he was vague about something I asked him a while ago. I asked him if he can have it set to so I can run 94 octane before I sent him all the loot for this kit. He mentioned to me that he will be putting an extra gasket when I get the kit. I know normally this kit is a 12:5.1 compression, however upon inspecting my parts I saw only one gasket which is a copper one and it seems to have a degree of thickness to it (will post pics on my page soon). When I asked him about if I can run 94 octane he mentioned "check the plug and see" and I asked about 100 octane to run and he responded quicker and more assuring to use it. So I don't know what compression it really is. 100 octane is hard to find and expensive here (about 5 and change per gallon). I'm going to be safe and not sorry and get 100 octane gas. Better to be safe not sorry. If you considering one ask him about it in detail. He is good to talk to. I wouldn't recommend anything other than Gary at TVI or MisterHP who did a great job distilling down my used Lectron 44m carb which I find is a great alternative to the heavy thumb use of the TM45 carb.
