Would that be the "special project" you said you had to work on?

Oh god no!

That blower Pre Dates the Cicil war. Why does the aftermarket keep using the horrble roots blower when there are awsome twin screws out. I bet that blower can barly feed a full bolt on C6.

Either you are mis-informed or just confused as to what you are looking at. This is not the "roots" supercharger of the civil war, that is for sure. I am sure that it will supply more than enough boost to fill a 6.0L LS2.

Isn't that blower too small to supply a 6.0 with enough air? I thought the maggies run out of breath for bigger motors? What are going to do for tuning? Or is this for show only?

The maggies aren't working too well on the GTO due to high intake temps and all of the timing that the ECM is pulling to prevent detonation. I wonder how much worse it is with the 11:1 compression on the LS2? 93 Octane recommended from GM.
