Finally got all the pulleys situated and the blower back on the car. Gonna street tune it tomorrow and hit the dyno this weekend. Stay tuned for results and dyno sheets. Thing sounds rediculous!

Outstanding! You have someone do this for you?

How much boost did it add? (If you don't know yet, maybe when you get it tuned.)

Pics or it didn't happen!

Lol it happened. 3.65 on the jackshaft and 3.2 on the input with a 3.0 on the front. I choose to go with the 3.2 over the 2.9 just because I didn't want to machine the housing for the pulley. I did have to take some material away to clear the manifold but not much.

I promise ill keep u guys updated as soon as I can beat on her and see what the boost comes in at. I can tell u this; it hits 10lbs almost immediately now but that was just a quick stab of the throttle just to see what she did. Ill have a boost number for u tomorrow. Hp/tq over the weekend.

Sweet! I was just wondering how you were doing with this project yesterday. A little off topic, I have to pull my Maggie to change my knock sensors. Can anyone say what intake gaskets are needed? The ones shown in the Maggie installation manual look to be one piece and any LS6 gaskets I can find searching the net are the rectangular rubber O-ring style.

Are there no adverse affects on the blower? why has no one else ever done this? All's I see and hear is the limiting power factor of the Maggie and how if your goal is higher than 500hp then look else where.

Edit: That's what it was, IAT's would climb through the roof?

It's becomes rather inifficient at redline and yes the AIT will be pretty high. The good thing about it is the the boost comes in earlier and faster.

Yep the harder you spin it the higher the IATs, and you get to a point where itll start pulling timing and negate the power added by the boost. If you can remedy that with meth or e85 you will see better gains. Ive been curious how punishment will make out after all the work hes done and I hope it works out.

U gotta buy the gaskets from magnuson. They are made for the manifold.

Well I've thought about iat's a bunch and what I'm gonna do is tune it and see what it's doing first and foremost. I found an intercooler pump that's almost double the flow of the maggie supplied one, so that and maybe build a small res for more coolant capacity.. And of course I still plan on using n2o this year. So we'll see where the cards lie this weekend

Actually you can use the 5.3 truck manifold gaskets. They use the same style. I think you have a trim a tab off or something. If you look at the Magnuson gaskets it looks like they do the same and just mark them up. Somebody posted that info a while back.

Thank you.

Thanks for the tip raven, I'll see what I can find.

Nice find raven... From what I see just from a quick search the 4.8 and 5.3 gaskets look damn near the same. Can't say for sure but they look like a match

So was this a home project or is there a shop out there? Can't wait to see the results! What injectors are you using?

Brackets

Yes, Felpro MS 95687 sure looks a lot like the one shown in the Maggie installation manual. Unfortunately the manual only shows two of the intake ports. Since you've mentioned it I do recall reading that same post discussing this.

I've been meaning to look into this, but haven't had time.

that was prolly fuzzy. im in CT and we do meets all the time. shoot me a pm and ill meet up with you this weekend after my tune.. we'll go find some fun to get into to test the new setup on
