As far as I know, none of the first batch of kits that have been sent out have been installed yet. I have a few customers waiting on parts so they can do everything at once.
I have installed several, and it takes us about 10 hours to install. An average guy working at his home garage with basic tolls should be able to easily install one over a weekend.
On an M/T equipped car, yoiu should easily see 500 RWHP, you could pickup another 50 HP or so by doing a cam swap at the same time.
If you have any specific questions, or would like to see some photos, just let me know.
Thanks

I jsut bought this kit from Ed, he will be installing mine before i get back from Iraq. great guy to deal with. I had a maggie on my C6 and you can change the pulley size for more boost. From what I understand they can get up to 10lbs. My C6 with 5 lbs made 475RWHP/453RWTQ (over 400 ft lbs at 2300 RPMS) with just my maggie and a set of headers and cats through a stock cat back. Stay tuned

Your current tune would be a good starting point for a custom tune, but for a mail order tune, you would probably be a little better off with a copy of a car I've tuned in-house. If you're already working with a tuner shop, and they've tuned your car before, they won't have a ton of extra time tuning for a Magnuson. Feel free to give me a call if I can answer any questions for you.
There are smaller pulleys available I believe 2.9 or 2.8 is the smallest. I typically use a 3.1 to see 7PSI. 9-10 PSI is about max out of a 112, but to get there involves custom tuning, pulley, and probably a meth kit.

That sounds great! I'm sure people would like to see pics of this install from start to finish!
I'll start a thread in the sponsor projects section, and post a link here.
Thanks for all of the support,
