Mines a TR 15’ M7 Z07. I’m doing:
- Splash guards
- Hardwired Escort 360
- Lower on stock bolts
- BMS filter
- Borla X-pipe
- Possibly TM PTB
- Also considering wheel spacers as I actually really like the stock wheels but want a slightly wider/flusher stance

I'm going add a new heat exchanger and extra cooling tank later but for now I will see where the stock fueling runs out if I can make 680 -700 rwhp I'm happy

fuel wont be your issue... IATs and over heating will.

So in the end, which car will be faster the M7 or the A8? and by how much?
After you answer that are you going to try to make the slower car just as fast as the faster car?

Looking to make both cars about 800 hp ( just so a highway or anywhere meet up with a ZR1 will be real interesting. )
So the tuner is ready as soon as I get the blower installed.
Then I need the cooling mods. 1 car at a time.

The A8 win the stoplight runs drives much more luxury but then on the highway the M7 shines and is more sporty to drive where the A8 is lackluster. Both have their
advantages. Then my new car has the advantage over both the Corvette's
it can run 11's in wet weather!

I guess it fits under the stock hood- no Calloway like hood mods required?

Yep fits under the hood! Have to get a few cooling goodies as well!
Actually will be fun about weekend to do but then again everyday is Saturday for me! Total bolt on plug and play!
Sort hard to decide which car to put it on?

i exchanged emails with Magnuson. Looks like no tune is required and just the super charge swap yields lower temps and 80 to 100 hp at the rear wheels. Pretty good for the price.
