Thumbs up Steve Weisman

I have a 2001 Camaro Conv that has had many mods in the last year or so. Heads,Cam,90mm throttle body,oil pump,lontubes,410's, ect. All done by MTI Racing in Marietta, ga ( MTIracing@yahoo.com. The latest mod is a Magnuson MP112 5 generation Super Charger. Car will be dyno'd friday and out of the shop. Car is up and running great now but wanted a few miles on it before Dyno and tune. Reece did his ss first and mine is the second car. He is writing the install manual. The first 10 he sells will be in shop then he will ship. He worked with Mangnuson to get a clean fit under the ss and ws6 hood. He is getting ready to do the 3rd car now, a ws6. He is charging for now $5995 for blower and $2000 install, You can see picture of his ss on his web page, Hope this helps, Steve Weisman

I think the 408 is too big for the 112, but a 370 would work pretty well.

1.I thought MTI was in Texas
2.are you planning large combustion chambered heads like the 317 with the 74mm chambers?
3.do you have a blower cam?

4. I like many others would like to see a detailed install document ,the GM high tech artical images are way to small to see anything.

Thanks

I do not have specifics on them. Sorry. I been thinking about doing a TVS on my new vert down the road too dunno I might just keep this one simple for once lol. Some sponsers got there hands on them and seen some get to the truck side. Might wanna try to talk with Magnusun directly might have some luck. Try getting ahold of Ed at LM Speed, MTI Racing in GA, or Blownchevy on the truck side here they may be able to help out a bit more on that.

Sorry, don't have all of those details. You could call Stephen at MTI racing ( 770-919-7774) and he can tell you what Heads and Cam I have in my car. At the install a year ago they just said they are ls6 stage 2 heads and did not ( would not ) give me the spec's on the cam. I'm trusting MTI that the Heads and Cam work with set up. MTI in Marietta GA had nothing to do with MTI in tx, to separtate companies. As far as the install document I'm not sure he will provide unles you buy the kit. Thanks Steve ( 58 year old man that just likes to have fun.

Are the magnacharger kits even intercooled? Plus there roots blowers and not twin screw. I'd rather have a procharger or vortech over one. If kenne bell made a kit that would be nice though.

Dealer had a hard time selling a NBM 2000 SS Vert M6 with 37,000 miles. I have only had it a couple weeks and the mod itch is killing me. I traded my 02 Toyota Taco with 96,000 miles for it straight up lol, it needed a new window motor (50.00) idler pullies were screaming so I greased them up since they were just dry I pretty much stole it from the dealer. Not gonna say what I paid (way less then KBB) but this car was garaged kept and everything looks as new as my 2000 Z28 (first LS1) did when I bought it back in 01 Gonna be a while though before I dig too deep into the mods. Unless something lands in my lap like the car pretty much did.

Sorry for the hijack now back to our thread

Yes they are intercooled.
Yes its a roots.

I honestly owned a Procharger and Maggie. I prefer the maggie for my setups on the street. Plus it sounds cool And it did very well for me.

Here is a pic of my previous Procharger setup



And previous Maggie (prior to the SS I sold)

MP112

One more thing on the dyno above it is in STD. It was done in August in a non air conditioned shop, so the numbers would have been alittle higher.

So I hear the tvs series is 11mm taller than the mp112. So does LMspeed plan on dropping the K member a total of 1.25" for the tvs series?
And why does LMspeed drop the K member 3/4" with the mp112 while MTI advertises dropping the k member 1/4"?
And it seems to keep true suspension geometry (as in not differing camber by varying travel), you would also have to space the upper A arm down from the body. This is what (bigger) lift kits for SUVs do. Or else supply a longer spindle (expensive). Seems like they should just supply spacers for the upper shock mount mount too.
