I had a non-IC Maggie on my C5 and enjoyed it a lot. I sent them a few emails, but so far, no response at all.
Steve,

What a beauty. I feel your pian all the way from VA

Rock on guy - get a 2006 Z06 - put the same mods on and you'll burn a set of thire out in 4k miles. If not you don't have a hair on your putute

Thanks. But, no '06 Z06 for me. A little too much cash up front. I'd rather build my way up to that kind of debt.

So, '05 C6 is my ticket, and it's being built next week. Who knows what the future will hold for it...............

With the stock cam's intake closing point, 6 lbs of boost on the stock LS2 is not even remotely an issue. Compression issues vary with the cam.

O.K. , here's a question. If the LS2 can handle 6lbs of boost, what would the LS7 handle & what kind of gains?

Well if your going to swap out to an LS7 crate motor and you ditch the crap pistons for forged dish pistons, it will handle anything. You are better off getting a forged superstroker from any good engine builder that is set-up for boost in the C6. It will outperform a LS7. Just don't get it from a New York source since it will take 5 weeks for them to get your heads.
