Default Any pics of Magnuson blowers on F-bodies?

I've seen a guy take a ragged out '99 Z/28 junker and cut the cowl to install the blower. He had the roots painted gloss red to match other engine parts. It was a clean car when he was done.

Has anybody out there done the swap? I'm picturing a polished roots blower on top of my engine. I'm curious to see how much cowl would need to be trimmed.

I've searched for the thread but can't seem to find it. Is the search working right?

Anyone know of a link to some pics? Did they use the GTO kit? Anyone have any info?

Wow! Thanks for posting. Don't suppose you know what kind of kit(vette/GTO) that blower/manifold came from?

I do have a video of it running a 7.71 at 95.3 mph on the first track run. I haven't been back at the track since. Imagine a 03 cobra with a kenne bell on it and mine sounds about like that. I haven't dynoed the car either, but it will roast the 315's at 60 mph in third with a 3.42 gear.

Do you plan to head back to the strip?? Where are you running? Jackson?

Let me know, I'd like to check out the car!!

Damn! Even if I drop the motor on it's mounts I'[d stil have to seriously hack the stock hood.

I don't mind cutting the metal under the cowl, but the hood has all kind of fiberglass reinforcement, and I'd hate to cut it's manhood. Crap.

this is a nice set up, but those blower get maxed out pretty easy on an fbody. like 550-600 i believe. but thats because you cant stuff a bigger 1 in there unless you really wanna cut stuff up

There's no need to do a lot of hacking, or pay for someone's fab work. We released a complete kit that Magnuson makes exclusively for us. There is a small 3"x11" cut to the lower cowl, and the kit comes with a pre-cut and bent steel patch panel to tack back in place. Depending on what hood you have, you may need to cut a small square out of the underhood bracing, but not enought to loose any strength
Full details can be seen here:

www.lmspeed.com

Videos on the front page. I have these kits in stock, and they come with everything you need to install and drive!

Let me know if I can answer any questions,
Ed
