Over the weekend I installed my Magnuson 2300, Kooks 1 7/8" headers, Green cat x-pipe, lt4 hpfp, lt4 injectors, 95mm throttle body, 1 size smaller pulley, Cordes racing expansion tank and mighty mouse catch can. I was very impressed with the fit of the magnuson kit and as long as you follow the directions and have the tools, time and place it's not a bad job at all. I'd like to thank Vengeance Racing for the Dyno Tuning and Cordes racing for Tank, MMcc, 5" cai ( gonna install later). Both company's were Great to deal with and I look forward to future business with them. Now I just need some Nice Weather!!!!

Very nice! Why did you need to install the LT4 pump & injectors while still using the stock cam? I’m thinking about going with the same setup and was told by a reputable tuner that the stock hpfp & injectors would be fine and I would be at about 600whp safely.

From what I was told the amount of fuel supply is a limiting factor. It may be overkill but it's a little piece of mind I guess.
Thats a great little blower and doing the upgraded fuel system is really what everyone should do when they switch from NA to a blower. Your already setup up for future mods such as E85, cam, etc. Seems like a pretty conservative tune but should be a great street setup. You can make plenty more power when your ready. My old Camaro went 10.00@138 with stock motor, exhaust and heads, it was on race fuel and 17 lbs of boost. Then built a short block, with cam, headers and went 9.82@141, could have went a little quicker but bent a valve and then the 2650 came out and I added that while I had it apart. Good luck and have some fun.

I had a 2017 grandsport a8 with the 2300 on it. The torque down low is insane with the grandsport gearing. Felt like it the front tires were off the ground in first. I had the 2300, 1 7/8 headers and 3" x off road pipe. it was 523whp and 566wtq.
No this is a Vengeance Racing tune. Thanks Everyone for the kind words. When you start a project like this and it works like it should it's a lot of FUN!!!!!
Very nice build. What’s the reason not going with 2” headers? I was under the impression that was the way to go boosted.
1 7/8" Is what was recommended to me where I bought most of my parts, And I thought they would be a lot tighter in there than what they are. Wonder what the hp difference is from 1 7/8" to 2" would be?

I am sure it’s minimal difference. Enjoy the beast. Sounds like a lot of fun 👍🏻
Very nice! I’ve got an Edelbrock 2300 stage 2, 95mm TB, TSP 1 7/8” headers, Cordes HX, Mighty Mouse catch can making very similar whp as you and it’s a blast! I’m sure you’re going to love your build.

It's Definitely a Blast!!!! Gonna take a little getting used to for sure.
You picked the right header, most don't need a 2" and the 1 7/8 fits better and you'll loose a little torque with the 2". I made well over 850 rwhp with 1 7/8" on my Camaro no cats and the balance of the full factory exhaust.
