Default Maggie on Monza??

Hi,
I'm looking for some more hp for my Monza. I have a '98 Camaro LS1 that is stock down to the exhaust manifolds (with dual 2.5" pipes). I really can't do long tubes and I really don't want to do a cam. I already have a 255LPH pump and a good fuel system. What would the pro's and con's be of running a Maggie with the stock LS1 setup? Do they make a kit for the F-bodies or will I have to use a Vette or GTO kit?

Thanks,

Bill

Yes there's a kit now in production from Late Model Speed. Place an order on the first 10 and get a discount.

You'll have to hang the radiator off the front bumper.

By radiator you mean the heat exchanger for the blower, correct? I do have a lot of room as this used to be an A/C car and I took out the condenser. It should fit but do you know the measurements of the heat exchanger?

No, I was being a smartass as a good friend had a couple of monzas and I skinned my knuckes on the radiator more than twice while taking off the fan. I wouldn't imagine there would be much room for a pulley and blower drive on the front. Thanks for the picture, the swap looks great.

(besides the engine color)

It looks like you would have room to do this. Bob

lol, I have scars from the rad on my hand! I don't think I would have a ton of room for an additional pulley and belt thats why I was looking at the maggie.

Bob,

Is that a Vortech? I could move the alt and put the battery in the back and yep it would fit. I'm not too sure about the extra belt though. I guess I'll have to mear=sure a bit.

Thanks,

Bill

The I/C Magnuson kit will easily fit your Monza, in fact I don't think it would need as much work as it takes to install it in an F-body.


Here are a few pics, feel free to let me know if I can answer any questions,

Hi Bill,

The kit includes the complete supercharger and intercooler setup, 60 lb Motron injectors, a Racetronix intake pump & harness kit, and a K&N FIPK air intake. I assume you would want to delete the fuel pump & air intake and use what you have. I Would also delete the F-body install kit, since you seem to have plenty of clearence in the pics.
PM me your email address and I will send you some pics and a price quote.

Thanks,
Ed
