A SC is a SC no matter who you buy it from. It's the service AFTER the sale, where you need to worry about. There are different kits, so you need to make sure what you're getting before you click the buy button. Some are complete kits and some are tuner kits. If you have a favorite shop that will be tuning the setup, you need to order the tuner kit.

Question for you guys i also have the CAI intake installed will it work with KB?
If not i have no problem selling it and going with the KB mammoth, the only thing i am wondering is the filter looks pretty low, will it not take on water when driving in rain.

If you go with the KB you'll be very satisfied with their CAI system. It's an actual cold air kit as it has a giant filter that draws air from a little lower than the engine bay.

I think it's a great deal because CAI kits cost hundreds of dollars and you get one included in your KB kit. Plus, it is solidly constructed and is very big tubing.

Regarding the question about water entering the filter, I have complete faith that KB took that into consideration when they designed their system. Just my opinion.

But, I would estimate that the bottom of the KB filter is at least 9"-10" above the road surface.

Granatelli Motor Sports has them all - they are Deep WD with Magnuson, Paxton, Vortech, Procharger, Whipple and KB - They also Sell their own turbo kit and Hellion.

They have great service before and after the sale too - plus they keep stock

On my L99 Just Lt's Cats and exhaust. 3.6 pulley and a tune.

488 RWHP 502 FT lBS of Torque at rear.

Out of fuel at 64oo RPM AFR shoots to 12.0 and climbing at 6200.

For what its worth.... That was with 300 miles on the car.

(see profile / albums for Dyno Pulls on both my LS3 and L99)

carguy:
You only have LT headers w/ cats, exhaust, 3.6 pulley, and a tune?

You're getting 488 rwhp?

I also have a CAI intake, but I have no 3.6 pulley, and I'm getting 362 rwhp.

You don't have a blower?

The 3.6 pulley he is referring to is the blower pulley.

The maggie system says it's complete. What do they do with the PCV valve system ?

Oh and where do you get parts and belts when you finally need them ?

aet08 · 06-28-2010, 06:25 PM

I got 483 RWHP with the Vortech kit on a stock L99
with pre-programmed tune. fwiw

I have a quote for having a Maggie installed in my Camaro. I have an L99. I completely trust the judgment of the guys who run the shop I'm working with. I'm just interested in the opinions of folks who know more about motors and superchargers than I do (that would be almost everyone!). Let me start by listing what my car has as far as performance mods go:
Pfadt sport suspension+
CAI intake
Kooks 1 7/8" LT coated headers with high flow cats
Borla touring exhaust
tune dynojet, HP tuners
(My car dynod at 362 rwhp after this work was completed).

Here are the parts the shop has recommended for me:
Magnacharger tuner system (I requested the polished version, I like bling in the engine bay)
3.6" pulley
60 lb.hr injectors
Cooling system components: Tech AFX heater hose relocation kit
Tuning on Dynojet

I am building this car to learn about cars and to have fun. I am not planning to race it, but I'm trying to build the coolest and meanest street car I can within reason (don't ask me what I mean by "within reason." I'm not sure what that means either, but I know I'm not there yet.) I'd like to get the car over 500 rwhp. I think that should be enough to scare me a bit! Reliability and driveability on the street are high priorities to me.

What do you think? Am I missing something important? Like I said, I trust the guys at my shop. They are great. I just like to talk things through and make sure I've thought things through properly before investing this much money.

Thanks to all of you for any advice you can give.

I hope this isn't considered a thread jack. I thought it was a question that is on topic.
