LS3Maggie

Hi Guys,

I own a LS2 GTO and I have a MP112 maggie on it and im looking to buy a C6 2008 LS3 with A6 and wanted to know how difficult will it be to swap my maggie from the GTO to the C6 ?

Thanks,
LS3 Maggie

I don't know if They make one for the LS3 yet?

Callaway has one now but I don't know the differences between the LS3 and LS2 setup.

Evidently they don't swap over. Callaway had to come up with an LS3 version. I don't know if it's the LS2 Maggie or the install kit that won't cross over to the LS3. Your best bet is to give Callaway a call, last I heard those babies were about ready for release.

There is no way they would swap over. The heads are totally different so the Maggi intake manifold would have to be re-designed.

I think there are too many differences to make attempting a swap it worthwhile. The most significant differences are:

1 - The LS2 cylinder heads have a different port configuration than the LS3 heads, so the intake manifold would have to be changed to put your MP112 on an LS3.

2 - Callaway doesn't recommend the MP112 for the LS3. The LS3's 6.2L displacement requires additional inlet air volume, so our LS3 system uses the MP122 design (or CS2000 as we've been calling it).

We're waiting for intake manifolds from the casting house for our LS3 kits. We're hoping that we'll have systems available in around two weeks.

any expected hp numbers for the LS3 kit

I look at APS website but didn't find anything on a TT system for the LS3. Is procharger the only company right now makes a supercharger for the LS3'S ? I look at the Callaway dealer option but I think for $15,000 for only 150 hp is crazy. Thats $100.00 for each added hp lol. Plus you get a ugly silver bulge in the hood and Callaway logos on your vette.

Isn't there an upgrade option on the 112s? Seems like I herd there was...

Regardless, a Corvette is a different world than a GTO! If you really want to save the 112, get an '07 and simply bolt it on. All the handling of a 'Vette with the power of your GTO+.

Good luck with the decision.. Sound like you'll have a sweet ride no matter which way you turn!

That's great, and uninformed

Register and ask a question, get THE ANSWER on availability from Callaway themselves, then trash talk their product with

The price you got wrong, is not for the kit, which I imagine is what you are after...

The kit price should be on the callawaycars.com website and it ought to be close to the kit price of the LS2 versions.

Also, emblems come on Callaway Corvettes, not on the kits

We've built LS3 test Corvettes and, now, several production Callaway Corvettes with the LS3 Callaway MagnaCharger. These produce 580 bhp (SAE); without the standard Callaway Corvette exhaust system, they make 570 - 572.

There is, in fact, an MP112-to-MP122 upgrade option. You remove the blower and intake manifold assembly and send it directly to Magnuson. They remove the smaller head unit and install the larger one, inspecting the intercooler and other components and ship it back to you. The price for this upgrade is $2699. If 60 lb/hr injectors are required, add another $520. With injectors and new throttle body, add $1058. And add $600 for polished systems.

The Callaway Corvette package is actually priced at $18,500 for 2008. The supercharger is only part of the package. You can visit the Callaway Cars website for a more complete description of everything you get for that price.

(If someone told me, 10 years ago, that Callaway, or anyone, could offer a 580 horsepower Corvette with a 3 year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty for under $20K, and that you could finance it at your Chevrolet dealer, I would have thought they were nuts.)

For those who only want to add a supercharger and hood to their Corvette, the Callaway LS3 supercharger kit is priced at $7,395 silver, $8,495 polished. The Callaway "C16" hood is priced at $1,395. There are also other cheaper C6 hoods available in the aftermarket.
