Can you get a mp112 to fit, sure, but why? So you can make an instant 500 ft/lbs of torque at 2200rpm? All that does is roast tires.
Wow, do you have the dyno chart of the mp112 making 500 ft/lbs @ 2200rpm?

If you want to do the Maggie I would do a search of the old build threads and see if you still feel like it's something you want to do. Right now your just getting information that is only partly correct. I'm not suggesting you go one way or the other. I would have the same information if someone posted that prochargers don't make torque and have belt slip, bad brackets, etc. Again that would only be partly true and someone needs to research.

I know it's not @2200, but how about 2500rpm?

You say he's only getting information that is only partly correct. What am I missing? Does a new kit cost upwards of $6800? Does he have to modify his cowl and drop his k-member for it to fit? Does it max out HP wise at low 500s?

All I'm saying is, for the money, and work, the return isn't worth the investment.

No modification on a car is worth the money, he asked about the Maggie and now your throwing in na, should we add turbochargers because spending $6800 for 600hp na isn't worth it.

and no it's not 2200rpm as per your own words. $6800 for 500/500hp/tq isn't worth it with a nice flat torque curve? All inclusive with intake, injectors, boost a pump and tune. Is it the best option for most? Probably not but for some it might be otherwise they wouldn't offer the kit.

You're right, I'm not being fair or impartial.

Here's the facts.

Kit costs ~$6000, but you need to buy a throttle body. http://www.hawksthirdgenparts.com/pr...arger-Kit.html
Need to mod the cowl slightly to clearance the back of the supercharger.
Produces up to roughly low 500s rwhp, mid 500s rwtq depending on mods.
Need to lower k-member with supplied spacers.
