If one chose to do so, couldn't you just use the stock tune on the 2011? Wouldn't it be still good for all the additional airflow since it has a built-in wideband? Wouldn't the MAF sensor be able to read the extra air?

I am not saying it wont bolt on and make some more power...merely stating that for 2+K, I would like to know what I can expect first. For the money if it is 600rwhp on a reasonable tune, bolt on for a 11 or 12, then certainly many people would have to consider this set up. Until I see some results, thats not going to be me. So yes, there is testing still needed and also some tunes created.
Agreed. Until 3.1 is an option, I will continue saving for what ever I want to go with that has the best proven results.

There's no arguing with you there and I made this assessment a while ago when I knew the '13 gt500 was coming with a tvs. I basically was trying to get the guy to understand what you've just said. The blower is EXACTLY the same as all the other tvs's for the gt500's except the inlet is much larger. Anyone that knows anything about positive displacement blowers knows the least amount of inlet restriction the better. This blower will be a win/win. Ford really did hit the nail this time. I hope to get one either new or used early next year. It'd be nice to get one for 1200-1500 used.
I know that NVRL8 has received his. My concern, what to do with the elbow, and the evap differences? Can us 07-09 guys just buy the evap and use that as the correct part, or do we have add a line in?
add me to the 2013 TVS club. :banana::dancenana: Only bad thing back ordered to early July.:cuss: But it's too hot here to race anyway.
Looks like the new OEM TVS is starting to hurt VMP TVS sales. Everyone is posting, "Just bought an OEM TVS. Can't wait to install it."
If I were using the new 2013 elbow on a 2007-2010 car, I would buy the sensor that fits the port and hollow it out for maximum flow, eliminating electronic control. In the future, look for an aftermarket solution.
Obviously, this will be a direct swap for 2011-2012 cars.

The ones being bought have the 5.8 on it correct?
They are on backorder because FORD is using all of them to get the cars built. 
That's a big price difference...TVS + carbon fiber driveshaft....glad I've been too busy to get a blower yet....procrastination is a money saver
I'm also looking at the carbon fiber driveshaft from VMP. With that and the blower I'm still gonna be a couple of hundred less than the VMP TVS.
Who tuned your car? You're not that far from me, just not sure about any tuners around me.
Once people start rolling in numbers, the sales may be hit even more. Right now on paper it looks as if the new tvs is the hot ticket but once those that are skeptical see the gains, it's all over.
According to Tousley, they're expecting Ford to raise the price since they are selling so well.
Yeah, I was waiting for that......
I cant wait to see what VMP is working on. I cant remember if it was on SVTP but they did say they are working on some other TVS projects.
