Well as most of you know I installed my Magnacharger kit this past weekend. I'm guessing I'm one of the VERY few if not the only one (I think Jeff may be the other) to install this kit on thier own so I figured I'd give a few comments on that level.
1. This is by FAR the best major aftermarket product I've ever encountered, if GM were to supercharge the goat thier setup would look like this, no doubt in my mind. The engineering and thought that went into this kit is top notch and in quite a few ways eclipses OEM parts.
2. Fit and finish on the kit is incredible, our first shot on setting the supercharger onto the heads was a perfect match, nothing to move or re-route.
3. Simply the way the parts were packed made this kit a winner coming out of the boxes!! Each part is NEATLY packed, inspected and seperated, those of you with kits know what I'm talking about.
4. A person with a good mechanical background and a basic set of tools should have no problem installing this kit in a weekend without a lift, while it may look a little daunting just take your time and let it roll, it's really simple actually.
5. A word to the wise, I'm one of those people who likes to keep ALL thier stock parts and when Magnacharger told me to remove my MAF screen there was only one thing to do. I contacted TByrne Motorsports and got a set of thier GORGEOUS MAF ends, these things look GREAT! and should flow probably at least twice as good as the stock MAF housing with the screen out. My experience dealing with TBryne was exceptional as well, ultra friendly service and FAST shipping!
6. Also of HUGE note is Magnachargers top notch (and I DO NOT use that term loosely) marketing, sales and engineering department. Every question I had was met with a quick reply and they took the time, EVERY time to make sure even the silliest of questions was answered :)
Heres a pic of the finished product, I know you guys have seen this before but I figured what the heck :) If you have any questions regarding the install please let me know!
Look for the full install/dyno test in an upcoming issue of Speed Style & Sound Magazine!
