Default Just Completed 2000 TA Maggie Install!! Dyno numbers!!

Let me tell you, I can't believe how much time it took to install this thing! Took me 2 FULL weekends to get done! I bought this kit used off another member here, this kit is the one from Late Model Speed.
Check out the throttle cable bracket, I liked how MTI does there setup, flipping the throttle body upside down, so I just fabricated my own bracket(still have to paint it). Looks clean, right?
I had it tuned at Masport yesterday, let me tell you, the car is unbelievable!! I've never had a car have so much power! And the whine of the charger, priceless.
Let me know what you think of the numbers?!
Only mods to the car are:
Hooker Headers
Magnaflow exhaust
TR224 cam
Dyno numbers!



Pictures of setup!!

is this on a stock shortblock ? if it is try to save some money for a forged shortblock just in case this one goes. you should be fine for a while if you have a good tune. also some lq9 heads would help you out allot. your CR would be lowered to somewhere around 9.5:1 depending on the gaskets you use. good luck

WHAT a torque curve man....That's almost as flat as the ZR1 dyno (just not as high, lol). VERY impressive.

What were the numbers prior to the Maggie?

I'm torn if I go FI, the roots based scare the hell out of me being in such a hot climate, I can get a Procharger for about the same price and pick up a water/meth kit for protection in the hotter months.

Good lord look at the torque curve!

I am torn between a maggy or a single turbo. I love the sound of the maggy.

There was some talk in MTI's thread that dropping the compression ratio with this type of setup may not be a good idea because the blower can't deliver enough boost to over come the drop in compression to make it worth it. That's the way I understand it. If someone else has any input please do.

The only thing I am worried about with this setup is heat soak or high IAT's.

I would give up several horsepower to have the sound.

Get a video so we can hear it!

I'm curious as to why you think LQ9 heads would help out so much.

It probably wouldnt "help" per se, but the lower compression would make it a lot easier to run a solid tune on in hot and humid florida weather.

The only other time I had my car on a dyno was before the LS6 Manifold and TR224 cam, and the numbers on a DynoJet were 356 hp and 360 tq. at the wheels!

Unfortunately, I wasnt able to be there when the car was on the dyno. But I will be shipped a video of it a little bit later.

And get this, after just a couple of days of driving the car, I just found out that I need to key the crank! I just found that the crankshaft pulley was half off tonight. How hard is that to do?

Its easy, buy one of the fixtures from ATI or EPP, makes it an easy process.
