Magnacharger Install

I am buying a magnacharger off a friends car and I am going to remove it and then put it on my car. Can anyone tell me if the magnacharger kit comes with a intank upgraded fuel pump. My friend doesnt know if it did or not because he didnt do the install. I just dont want to go through the trouble of pulling the pump out and find that it is the stock pump. I would assume that you would need an aftermarket pump with a magnacharger. Anyone installed a maggie???

Thanks

Jonathan

Only need an aftermarket pump if you pushing big boost, other wise a boost a pump will suffice. May not even need that depending on your set up

My engine is completely stock other than a cold air intake and so is his car. He said he didnt think that they had to put a new pump in it but wasnt sure. He wrecked his car and I am just wanting to make sure I get all the good parts off of it

It has the 3.2pulley on it as well. His car was tuned by lingenfelter so hopefully I can just get that tune flashed into my car and it will be close so I can get it to the dyno for a complete tune...

In addition, what kind of power can I expect to make with a stock engine and the maggie with the 3.2 pulley on it???

If you have a good tuner after the install, some where around 475 rwhp too 500. Dont let who ever go over on leaning the car out on the tune. Be safe at a little rich, than blown motor.

You should make ~475rwhp, but don't be too concerned with that low #. They make so much power under the curve, that they're just good fun.

My maggie came with a higher flowing pump. The newer ones come with the boost a pump.
