I've already been full bore with my Firehawk now I've got a C5 daily driver and this time I want simplicity.

Is it wrong to think you'll be satisfied with the non-intercooled 4psi kit?

Seriously though, I think a small kit would make this car perfect... what's the cheapest price range you've seen them go for?

I have seen them go for around 2500-3500 used. But its rare that they go for that and they get snagged quick. Usually the average is 4,000 or so. Check out the corvette forum, that is where I got mine for the C6 last year. Got a brand new intercooled and polished one for it for 5K.

Joshua, you want the maggie so you can add some bling to the top of the engine again? haha. As you said with your hawk'... prochargers the way to go, if you cant find a good deal on a maggie, look for the D1SC IMO. Welcome back

You could go with an ECS kit and run a restrictor plate for more low end grunt like a maggie.

Used maggies are always overpriced, and you still have to pay for a new hood, paint, etc.

So far a D1SC kit with A&A FMIC has cost me 4000.00. Not to bad I don't think. Has the capability of a lot more than the Maggie and it is also polished.

Do a search, I bought my A&A Procharger for my C5 on here for 3500, and last week i saw one on here with the twin intercoolers for the C5. I think he was asking $4,000. Not to bad.

I looked for a Maggie also. I never found one either(used that is).

Good luck, let us know what you come up with
