I'll tell u what though, this new Maggie looks like it's ready to get the job done 0PHUX indeed

I had waited for better than 6 months for anyone to get back to me from Maggie or edelbrock with no results. I decided I would use the edelbrock 2.3 for the lt1 and drill/tap the lt4 heads for fitment. But then I stepped up

Looks very compact, especially given the increase in displacement. I'd love to know the weight difference vs stock. Don't want to hurt handling due to added mass up front.
Can't wait to see what the torque curve down low is like (GM said they used 1.7 for faster response of boost). Can probably bet on the higher quality of the Maggie to make up the difference.

Advanced
Standard 3-year/36,000 mile Warranty on the supercharger hardware
Standard 1-year Limited Warranty on electronics
Optional 3-year/36,000 mile, 5-year/60,000 mile or 5-year/100,000 mile Powertrain Warranty (additional cost)
I'm assuming if an authorized dealer does install and tune, you can purchase the powertrain warranty? Anyone have any experience with the Magnason powertrain warranty?

Nice comparison pics. Magnuson always puts together well thought out kits. If it can best the 1.7L by 100whp it would be a very nice upgrade.

Can we assume more hp = more heat generation? And if so what provisions ru guys making to dissipate heat ( I assume better SC inter coolant system)? Would this be useable for road course applications or would u say this is more for drag racers?

looks great. My thought is nothing has changed from 10 years ago. The top mount blowers produce too much trq down low and blow the tires. If i were taking the the top mount off the Zo6 i would do a centri on this built motor. 14.7 psi , Zero heat soak , more manageable power curve and 800whp+.
at the end of the day LT4, Ls7,Ls2 , LS1 the centri was always the better option for those motors vs Top mount. twin turbo being the best option from all of them.

Went to the Magnuson site and they don't propose any model for the Z06 as yet. Is that one a pre-serie?
The only one I found there is for the Stingray and able to provide up to 120HP additional to the wheel.

I feel years down the road these will be the common move for the C7 Z06. Almost like the 03-04 Mustang Terminators common move is the Kenne bell.
