Default Just ordered Magnuson 2650
I finally pulled the trigger. Ordered a Magnuson 2650 720 hp kit from Mike at TPS. This is my 2nd SC purchased from Mike. Only bummer is the 30 day wait. I guess the lead time for these kits is 4 weeks out. Excited to get this bad boy installed and tuned. Hoping for mid 10’s at the strip. The first kit I purchased was an eforce for a grand sport and it was flawless. Now just waiting patiently… Will update as the process as it unfolds.. I love the c8 platform that’s why I decided to drop the cash vs an eray, or a ZO6..

One of the posts I saw said the motor has to be pulled for the Maggie install...is that true ? It doesn't seem right to me.

Wow...I hope you take some good pictures for the rest of us.
I just got my 2024 Z51 about 2 weeks ago. A Magnuson is a ways out for me.

I kept my C7 Z / Magnuson. I couldn't part ways with it..

That is going to be bad a$$... the wait is always the hardest. Is this a 93 tune kit or are you looking to do E85 as well?
