Default bought the 112 Maggie kit today

After much deliberation I decided to go with the tried and true 112 CTS-V supercharger kit from Hendrix engineering. Today is the last day they offer the 112 at a dirt cheap price-goes up $800 tomorrow! I also ordered the oversize pulley (8" I believe?) and the bullet proof Hendrix rear axle kit. Sitting in the garage is an 06 Infrared V bone stock with 3800 miles on the clock. Mods to include are the 112 blower and pulley, rear axles, UUC shifter and Corvette fuel rail covers. Now I need to find an installer/tuner in my area (Western Mass) to entrust this build to. I guess the "stock tune" that comes with the Maggie is now useless with a pulley change. So far, no plans for headers or cam-just waiting to see how well this first mod comes out. Anyone have any suggestions for mechanic reasonably close in New England area please let me know!

Go to MagnusonProducts.com and click on 'Where To Buy'
Click on State.
Look at Connecticut, New York, New Jersey.
There is nothing listed for Mass.

Or try this . .

8" pulley, the smaller the pulley the more boost 8" is huge.
I think you mean 8 rib but you know you'll have to go 8 rib on all the other pulleys.
Mp112 such a cute lil guy.
Congrats.

I knew there had to be another V1 out there with less miles than mine. I'm now at 8,100 and still stock.


Anxious to hear how the blower works on an otherwise stock car!

Slowhawk performance is where I went and got my car tuned. Don is the owner and just deals with LS engines for the most part. He's in Bridgewater, dont how far you are from there. He's well know here on LS1 tech

I don't get the price secrecy. Presumably they can't advertise the price, so they don't. But they'll tell anyone who calls. It's not like they hooked you up with some special price others can't get.

I'm curious too as to how cheap it is. I don't think I'd go that route, but if it is $4,600, that's a lot of bang for the buck. Let us know how the build goes, I bet the car will be a blast.

As an aside, can you actually use 'vette FRC's with the maggie?

That price is a shade low, but close enough. Hendrix claims Magnuson was sold a few months back and the new owners are responding to complaints from shops who like to sell the whole package deal. The local guy I was talking with got real unfriendly yesterday when I reported that I now will have Maggie in hand. "Now we have a new price forumula" he stated. That's BS and I'm already looking elsewhere. I actually had to call Hedrix back this morning and I was told "we sold over 30 kits yesterday," which supposedly was the last day of the cheap price. Hendrix apparently sells wholesale to shops and makes no difference with individual buyers, like myself. The price is the price, no matter who you are. Same kits, same warranty, etc. It's too bad they had to bend to pressure from others who feel they are losing money.

I bought the Corvette FRCS on Ebay brand new, figuring they'd fit-WRONG! But a little cutting with a Dremel tool and good to go. In hindsight it would probably have been nicer to have someone make some one-offs. I was bidding on the carbon fiber engine cover and strut bar kit, but can't use that with the Maggie anyway. THAT stuff is EXPENSIVE!

You certainly can feel the difference.
Much more snappy in 30*-50* weather. Easy to break'em loose.
Gets a little whimpie when it's 90*+ outside, compared to the cold.
No one can tell it's there, unless you make her whine.
Virtually the same gas mileage . . unless you get 'heavy in the foot'.
Put mine on at 10k miles. Has 14k+ miles now. ['07]

Seems like a maggie epidemic lately.

After the installs, there'll be a smile epidemic.

Thats why when I bought mine I went with a new crate engine and new tranny as well...fix that problem all at once....I talked to Rolie he said you called...he does great work and like I said he worked all the bugs out on my car....A lot of small changes have to be made from the stock directions to get it perfect....best of luck Matt
