Starting the maggie install on my SS
Looks like you put the wipers back on, was it just the motors/linkage that would not fit? Just seems like you would leave the wiper blades off too if it wasnt going to work to cut down on some weight.
So does everything off the GTO kit work just fine in terms of snout and belt alignment? Would a kit for an LS1 or LS2 GTO fit or do you specifically have to look for one off certain years?
Also is there a way to run an 8 rib setup or does everyone stick with the 6 rib?
Thanks for the help!

Yes they are on just for looks....replied to your PM
I got a little more work done on the SS today as I installed a Volant CAI kit now all thats needed is some couplers and some polished pipe piece which should be easy to do since I"m running with a SD tune now.

I really like your blower better than mine. I like how the intercooler hoses on yours come out the front instead of the back. Yours looks much cleaner and it's much more servicable that way. Also I like how you came straight out of the blower with the throttle body. Mine has this aluminum piece. I think I may get rid of it and go with a longer piece of hose because currently it doesn't fit well with the short hose.

yeah I'm trying to hook up between the TB and the volant there not exactly level with each other but with the volant it seems to set A little higher then stock.
Sounds good......I'm just surprised that you didnt have to notch/cut your hood at all....just looking at your pictures and looking at how high that throttle body is sitting.

Yeah I need to put some putty on top and close the hood to see how close it is as I haven't had the car tuned or driven it on the road yet.Maybe the factory SS hood has a little extra room because of the scoop.
You have any pics of your setup .

I noticed in your sig it says Yank SS 4400....I didn't know they made an SS 4400? I'm guessing you'll have to go down to around a 3200-3400 stall w/ the maggie?

Yep I have to put my old ST3500 back in and hope its not to much for the maggie also in the process buying a cam for it a 214/222 SLP 51011 which should work out good.

BTW: Im doing maggie install on my 88 GTA trans am, ill be doing a cam at the same time, and I have bolt ons and no cats.

Just wondering, looking at one of your pics, Is the radiator hose that runs from the driver side to your water pump all the way installed? It looks like it may need to be slid all the way back over the hump, just wondering 
Ok, let me take that further.... the quickest magnacharged GenIV f-body.
the speartech 91 z28 with an ls1 and a radix maggie ran 10.7's or 8's.
