I disagree about Mike's comments about Harrop, but it is own opinion. Actually, there is a few other Harrop TVS2300 on Lateral-g.net as well. I own a Harrop TVS2300, which I bought back in 2008. I did contact Magnuson and they refused to sell their new TVS2300, because my 67 Camaro wasn't a new car. Actually, Magnuson didn't start selling TVS2300 Superchargers until February 2009. Harrop is great company to work with, because they help out the customer. The only disadvantage about Harrop is that they are in Australia, so you might have to wait a few weeks to get it. Magnuson was also bought out in 2010.

Although, I decided to change to an LS9 supercharger for my 67 Camaro, because of the custom work that was done in metal on my dash. I still own the Harrop TVS2300 with a custom Pulley setup from Wegner Automotive, so if your customer is interested in that, then I can give him a great deal on it. The unit is polished as well.
Last Summer, I test drove Brian Thomson's Chevelle, but it is an LSX 454 with LS9 blower and LS7 heads. Idles rather nice around 650 rpm, you can't tell it has this much power. There is no vibration as you would get in big roller cam engine. I had a 383 small block with full roller and 12.5 to 1 compression, it would rattle the entire car. Brian's drives rather nice, but he has rubber engine mounts, well, if you saw Camaro XV thread it has those mounts as well. My 67 Camaro has new rubber mounts as well. (Brian said that the Harrop TVS2300 has been on his 72 Chevelle in the past)
Since your customer has an LS7, then I recommend that you tell him to upgrade to oil squirters. Brain Thomson recommend it for his LS engines that he does it at his shop.
