Id like to know what others have put down with Just the maggie and your cam. preferable in a V or GTO and what kind of boost they were making. Were sitting right at 16.5 degrees of timing with the AFR right at 11.5 across the board. 470hp is about what I was expecting for this round...

I guess Its time for an update 
Gooch (justin311) got beat by our friend with a nitrous LT1 thirdgen so it went back under the knife and added a HSW nitrous setup with the micro edge controller and progressive driver(for when he forges the bottom end)a nitrous outlet plate made for the maggie a 4000psi NANO setup and our custom hardlines. His buddies with a machine shop fabbed up a badass bottle mount setup and we had Lonnies do a dual intank walbro setup with remote mounted fuel pressure regulator.
We went out last night to get tuned and we actually picked up a bunch of power with our new tuner scott! We dynoed on this dyno a while back with the old tune and the retunless fuel system making the same boost and the best we put down was 480hp this time out with the same boost just a new tuner and the fuel system we made 505hp and 535 ftlbs we hit out goal of 500+ without doing a damn thing other than getting scott out to tune it. This was also with 185degree IAT at the top of the pulls so with colder air it should do even more!
Now for the not as good news... We know the limits of the stock short block are in the 600hp range so we only wanted to spray a "50" shot which with the nano and the maggie combined should be more like an 80 shot. so typically with a NANO setup you up the fuel jet one size. so for the 50 shot without the nano it should have been a .035N20 and a .018Fuel, we didnt have the .022 jet for the fuel so the best we could find was a .024 and used that. Made the pul and lost a few hp since it pegged the wideband at 8:1
I was half temped to up the nitrous jet to compensate but it was a fleeting thoguht lol it was getting late so we jsut packed it it. even with the fuel going stupid pig rich it went from 535tq to 609 tq so the power is there we jsut need to bring the fuel jet down! Im thinking itll be dame close to about 585-590hp and 630tq when we are all said and done. Its going back on the dyno on the 7th

And your spare tire cover fits right over the top of it so no problem when you wanna hit the grocery store of pile in for a vacation to the beach ultimately the rear truck area will be re-carpeted and the trunk cover will be changed out for a piece of clear lexan with a huge caddy logo engraved in it with LED or fiber lighting on the edges to illuminate the logo for our night time cruisins. It wont be gaudy or anything and it wont look like neon lights itll be subtle light that makes the engraving in the clear lexan pop..... Thats down the road a ways tho I would like to see him get a forged short block and either the 8.8 or 9" rear first....

Oh and just a word of advice to anyone getting the nitrous outlet plate. it will not work with the 90mm TB without modificication to either the snout or the heat exchanger water inlet/outlet ports. The plate spaces the TB out to far and it hits the water neck. we milled the back of the snout a little and then cut up the water neck and moved it up and forward along with welding on some AN bungs.

the plan for right now is to not break the stocker lol we have an 8.8 center section sitting in the shop aswell as another stock cradle that we are going to try and make fit. we havent put much time in that yet just collecting parts. Ive got to make more progress on my car before I want to take on another big fabrication project.

Another question since this seems to be one of the more powerful maggie cars, have you looked into swapping the rear pulleys, or going with the 1:1 rear drive pulleys from a vette maggie? From magnason we have .83:1 ratio rear pullies.
I have heard from Hendrix-Engineering that you can't swap the pulleys because it will hit the oil pressure sensor. That seems like an easy enough fix if you just remote mount the sensor I have seen kits for this, though they are specifically for vettes I think it would work on a V.
With swapped rear pulleys we could overdrive the maggie with a larger jackshaft pulley, something in the 3.0"-3.1" range to avoid belt slip and have longer belt life.
