Hate to be the bearer of bad news but... it's more like 625 at the flywheel Very nice gain!

I run the Maggie on my own C6. That along with a 3.2", Dynatech long tubes, Callaway Honker when their version for the Maggie comes out and tuning should get it to about 510-520 rear wheel.

We have hoods to clear the Maggie in the C6 section of our website. RK Sport hood here -

Can I use the bolt on scoops instead of the complete hood for the Maggie? Same as this:

I do not think that would work. You would need to cut a hole in your hood and stick that scoop on top of it and there is still a chance it will not fit. Save your pennies for a hood or sell the maggie and get a centrifugal supercharger, like the A&A kit...

Damn, you should have went with the APS twin turbo kit for that price! No hood issues at all! That and you should have done some more research before you spent so much money... If you did, you wouldn't have this problem right now...
