Default Maggie

Hello
Is the MagnaCharger "Maggie" worth the $$$? And how many HP am getting from it?
Thanks.

That's the "C6 Forced Induction/Nitrous" section.

I Luv mine....gained 160 rwhp (with exhaust and 7 lbs of boost). The low end punch of the maggie makes it VERY fun to drive. Search the FI section..lots of info.

Yes, a bolt-on Maggie can net you up to 200 HP at the crank (~160 at the wheels). It would be a good race against a C6 Z06, but a close one in my opinion. A better driver in a Z06 might be able to out run you...

Yeah,Your right!
A typical C6 has about 340rwhp,add a Maggie,and it goes from 460 to490rwhp{more or less!}
A Z06 typicaly dynos at 440rwhp some I've seen at 470rwhp!
So the ones at 470 are almost in the Maggie ballpark!
Anyways,I love my vette with the Maggie!

Thanks 1bdasvt.. But do I really have to buy an aftermarket hood? I mean you can't find the maggie over here in Kuwait, So I ordered the kit from the states and it's coming on the way, To be honest my pockets are empty I can afford the hood but then I have to wait for 2 months to take my salary and install the Maggie!! Is there any way that I install the maggie without an aftermarket hood?
Thanks, I really appreciate your help all!!

532 rwhp here with a Maggie,LG longtubes, a 2.9" pulley and a good tune.
which puts it around 600 at the flywheel. So that is about a 200 hp gain at the wheels.

You can have the hood cut, i have seen pics on here somewhere that
has a hole cut the same shape as the S/C. looked pretty cool.

No.

If you don't want to deal with the hood issue, get a centrifugal supercharger instead...

Should be 8-9 lbs of boost........I guess I'm officially done, I know of 2 A6s that have cratered around 550 rwhp/ 530-550rwtq (50 more than me).

I had a hard time with the hood issue also, but I'm very happy with the RK hood. If you really want a maggie (and I can't reccommend them enough) don't sweat the hood....it's worth it.
