I installed a Magnusson Heartbeat 2300 on my '16 Z51 and loved it - with headers and meth I got 599 RWHP.

Had an Edelbrock stage 1 Eforce put on my 2014 Z51.....Edelbrock claims 624hp, 600 ft lb tq....I didn't bother getting it dyno, but have no reason to doubt those numbers!

It's a totally different car....acceleration is amazing, and I confirmed that the rev limiter actually works the first time i drove it after the install...have about 3k miles on it and no issues at all. I would highly recommend it.

I can recommend the Edelbrock E-Force. I have the stage 2 on my Stingray.

I bought an extended warranty that would be void the minute I put a supercharger on the C7 Z51, but I'd be a liar if I didn't say I've seriously thought about doing this.

Magnuson's supercharger kit with their tune does not void warranty. I can confirm this with their CEO or sales guy if needed.

I have an Edelbrock. Totally different car and a blast to drive. They will give you a 3/36 warranty.

Straight from the 2019 warranty:

“Engine power enhancement products may enable the engine to operate at horsepower and torque levels that could damage, create failure, or reduce the life of the engine, engine emission system, transmission, and drivetrain. Damage, failure, or reduced life of the engine, transmission, emission system, drivetrain or other vehicle components caused by aftermarket
engine performance enhancement products or modifications may not be covered under your vehicle warranty.”

While it says it “may” be excluded, it is very hard to argue that a supercharger does not reduce the life of an engine.

I would agree with that. So maybe it is Magnuson that offers a warranty. If they do, I'm not sure what it covers. I could look into it though.

Just spoke with Magnuson sales engineer and he says:

Vehicle warranty (non Powertrain) should stay same. Powertrain replaced by Magnuson Powertrain warranty.

He used to work with me at Eaton Corporation, Supercharger Division. He retired early (55), now works for Magnuson. I’ve been with Eaton 22 years, I believe he was with Eaton a few more then that.

Hope this clears up any questions.

Coupeguy, would you mind sharing what it cost out the door? I'm looking to find out what a turn key installed unit would cost.

Check out tickperformance.com, they have complete packages installed and tuned starting at $5,100 on a&a kits and magnason at $7,700. Great guys and not that far from you. They did my tune, I did my own install on my a&a 639whp 610tq. Over 20k miles with not a single issue.

I am curious to know what type of WHP a base ECS or A&A kit with no alky or headers or anything would put down. I have searched but can't find any solid results. I am hoping close to 550whp on a low temp day.

My a&a kit is 9.5psi with 3.47 pulley (639whp, 610tq), with the 3.8 pulley I saw 8psi (606whp, 569tq). I believe the 4.0 pulley is 7 psi. No results wth 4.0 as I never ran that. I run meth single with 3.8 pulley, duel with 3.47. No headers, but ported stock manifolds, x-pipe and momo ported TB.
