If you own a 98-02 Fbody, you might as well just write off the thought of doing a positive displacement blower thanks to the cowl location. The amount of work, and money, required to make one work, with any amount of power, is just not worth it.
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.

I really wanted to do the maggie supercharger. i love the look of it ontop of the engine..if i get a 2.5 cowl or higher will it fit without having to drop the K member? if i do drop it, does that lower the engine, i want longtubes and am afraid if i drop the k member will they get lower to the ground? sorry, i am very new to these large modifications so im just trying to learn, thanks!

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.
