IMO CCWs vs a Maggie aren't anywhere close in price. You could buy 3 sets of CCWs for the cost of a Maggie kit + hood + install + paint + extras.

What are your current mods? If stock you'll need headers etc. to do the Maggie. Plus, once you're in the 500 rwhp range you'll start needing driveline/clutch upgrades.

Pretty funny all the maggie replies, yet 9 out of 10 cars on here have wheels and no supercharger (I'm one of them.)

If you aren't going to use the HP, then go with wheels.

Your car is plenty fast for the street.

Although I love the Maggie and HP is great..I would do the CCW's. YOu can enjoy the wheels all the time, when your driving, when your not... they are always visible..

ALso if money is a concern, you can get a set of CCW's with tires for around 4-5k out the door. A Maggie, you are looking at 7-8k, plus cost of a new hood, plus cost of install if you dont do it yourself.

Forgot to ask, what are your goals for the car, and have you thought about supporting mods for the maggie, especially your driveline

I don't have either. I've just always wanted a blown car.
