I got it on last night.....The Maggie that is! After a long wait, we got her on last night and I brought her home 
I ended up taking the car to a local tech as the price for install couldn't be beat ($450 for install and $250 for dyno tune). It was installed by AIR (American Intense Racing). The LS2 blower on the LS6 engine isn't as straight forward as we thought and I'm surely glad that I had someone install it because it would have been pushing my technical level had it been a straight forward install.
We didn't get a baseline dyno but from what I've been seeing, V's have been hitting around 340RWHP-ish.
I am running the LS2 MP112 blower, 90mm TB and stock 2.8 pulley (for now) and we dyno'd in at 430RWHP (Dyno sheets are pending from Dyno Pro's who are out of town till monday now). I assume I'm only around 5 PSI with the stock pulley.
I'm not sure if that is low for RWHP numbers or not but keep in mind, I have a stock everything else.
Headers/FI CAM/160 T-Stat will be the next batch of performance mods for which I'll have to re-dyno and my tuner is wanting to convert me over to E-85 after I get the Headers/Cam/T-stat bought and put on.
Over-all, I'm pretty stoked! It's nice to have that Instant power. I thought the maggie would be pretty quiet but she screams when you hit boost. She screams louder than my muffler delete does which is really nice but runs really quiet at idle.
Pics are pending still as I gotta get it cleaned up a bit but wanted to let some of you guys know!
WOOOOHOOOOO!
PS: Thanks to many of you guys for answering some of my questions and to those pioneers who took this path before me and contributed feedback to the site to make it easier for the rest of us!

Very nice. 430whp ain't bad what-so-ever considering you haven't uncorked the motor yet!
So it really screams at WOT eh? Any overheating issues since you don't have the t-stat?

Thanks guys!
I think i'll need the 60# injectors which aren't cheap but we'll see what I can find out there. I currently have the 42's.
Yeah, its pretty loud...sounds like an electric car or something. Its weird, i've never been around a roots style blower before though so I'm not used to the sound. My IAT's hover between 140-160!! I'm sure that is robbing me some horsepower but I'll be looking into Meth in the spring because I'll probably need it.

lol sorry guys. I've been having a fuel problem that I'm trying to work out.
Mod List for the person who asked is in my sig. I'm pretty stock as far as power adders. Only the maggie (2.8 pulley) and 90mm TB plus the dyno tune. Muffler delete too if you consider that performance, mostly done for the sound.

Well, the stock fuel injectors that came with the maggie. I think they're 42# (mine are the green tops). The fuel pump is stock....for now. I'm having some fuel pressure issues and we may have to drop the tank 
If that happens, I'll replace the pump with a nicer/bigger one. To convert over to e85 as I'm considering, I will have to replace injectors but that is down the road.
