Default So, the UPS truck showed up today.....

Damn, this thing looks almost too pretty to put on an engine! Here is the custom built Magnacharger for my 1969 Camaro (for a forged internal 348ci LS6). This setup has the intercooler under the blower, a repositioned blower location, and runs on the LS1 f-body serpentine belt setup.

Similar drive shaft layout as the current Corvette setup, but with an intercooler to help produce more boost.

Can't wait to get this thing installed!

The engine in NA form should be worth 420-430 rwhp, so I'm estimating this blower will add over 100-120 rwhp like most Magnachargers do. I'd like 500-550 rwhp on pump gas personally, but if it makes more I won't complain

don't you love how everything comes preinstalled on the magnacharger.

i'm assuming it's an air to water cooler, but where do the lines hook up?

1dirtyZ, you are correct. Its an air/water intercooler, it comes with a tank and a pump system. The inlet/outlet are on the front, just under where the t-body mounts to it.
