Default ECS Results

Just spoke to Chris a little while ago about my '99 C5 that I had supercharged with a Maggie, running a 3/4 pulley and around 6 lbs of boost. He said that off the top of his head, he remembers my dyno results being around 420/415 or so. He said those are typical numbers with a pretty much stock car (I have a GHL exhaust and 4.10 gears, though).

Sound about right? I'm picking the car up tomorrow...gotta learn how to drive it I guess. I hear that unless you step on it, it drives pretty similar to before. Do other Maggie owners find that to be true?

Thanks.

Maggie's have alot of low-end torque. It takes a little while to get use to the change in power. With 4.10 gears you'll have your hands full. I have an A4 with 3.42 gears and have trouble with traction when I step into it.

Yeah, I'm fully expecting to have some pretty severe traction problems, especially in wet pavement.
