So, I have 1 7/8" Kooks LT headers with high flow cats and a 2.5" Borla touring exhaust. It sounds like that's a good match for the Maggie?

(I'm leaning toward the Maggie again after seeing these videos.)

just sent you my phone number. ;)

Sent you mine back! (I guess you were on the phone when I called.)

T...

Be careful now. When GTA sends you his phone number, it is a 976 number and costs $4.99/minute. The heavy breathing is not the exhaust... :sm0:

:laughabove:

He called me back. Wait until he gets his bill!

It was nice talking with you.

:thumbsup:

Dumb question, but there are some pretty good people in here who know there stuff. Would it be as hard as they say it is to install a supercharger??? :iono:

I am this close to ordering. And I would rather save the installation money for something else.

So sorry to hi jack just wondering??

I know PQ said he was going to install his with Scott.

You know.. I think there is a bit more to it than we think.

But, if you've done other bolton jobs.... and you can take your time...

I think it can be done... I think the Maggie is one of the easiest. but I'm not sure if that is really true... Bolting on the superchager is really not that big of a deal... To me the intercooler and all the fluids required are the more daunting....

I know T and T performance has a free install deal going on his maggies... or at least he did. Maybe you can find someone local or close to local who is offering the same???

I would have to be pretty tight on money to try a blower install my self...

But in the end I think I could do it...

FWIW.

I think I could too, I just don't want to take any risks. It would be kinda fun though lol.

I might get PQ and Scott to help me install mine.

I know if I did it myself it would take a day or two.

Even with instructions I don't trust myself enough to take on a job like that. I would have done my headers had I had the equipment and spot to do it but not a blower.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about, is messing something up.

I mean I don't mind paying for someone to install it, I just thought it would be kinda fun to try it myself. But I think I will leave this one to the experts lol :laugh:

We talked about it, but I think I've changed my mind on doing a SC install myself. Just too much money involved to screw something up.

Right back at ya! Thanks for the good advice.

Just sayin'

S/C seems like it would be easy to bolt on but with my luck something would go terribly wrong and I would be back to have a 40k paper weight, a feeling that I do not like to have.

I see alot of vendors are having sales on the S/C. Do you think it has anything to do with the Z28 coming out, why put a S/C and void your warranty when you can buy a S/C from the factory and have a warranty>

There's a joke here about installing wheels yourself...but...that would be just mean.... :)


Take it to Vengeance...you'll be glad that you did.

I like those orange wheels, got any pics of it on a camaro?



:laughabove:

:facepalm:

No.....

Nice sig Randy...

Depends on what you mean by 'On' a Camaro. :sm0:

chevy FTW

I decided to get a local dyno tune done on THR22. I was having some problems with my car... At WOT it was retarding timing big time. almost 18 degrees if I remember correctly.

Turns out it was nothing serious. I'm gonna start a new thread on what the problem was. More to follow.
Edit:

But this vid shows how much difference there is when a car is tuned in a different climate. And I didn't have the Airaid CAI util I brought the car home, so that factors in as well.

Check it out.

Do you think it has to do with the humidity?

Are these cars that particular that they need to be tuned each time the climate changes?

Well, I'm not completely sure how to answer that....

But here's some infor for thought...

Tom tuned my car in PA, near Pittsburgh, in Feb, and they are 1100' above sea level with far less humidity.

Here in Jax in the summer it's almost 100 degrees, 80% humidity, 12 feet above sea level.

Other than the small problem I had to chase down, my car ran great in Fl and in PA. But it runs better here now than it ever did before the new tune.

The car had a little bit of predetonation so we were able to remove that by taking out some timing and lowering the AFR (adding fuel). It went down from 11.7 to 11.5 ish...

Now I did loose some torque, not sure if that is from the Airaid, or the climate. But I am making more RWHP...

Don't ask me how it all fits together... But the difference is noticeable for sure.

I know some guys have multiple tunes, summer, Winter, Valet, Race...

so yeah you can use different tunes at different times. I'm gonna stick with this one for now.

:thumbsup:

Glad you had it dyno tuned down here. There is a big difference in climate. One of the things to remember is that numbers from multiple dynos are rarely the same so that could be some of the original variance.

Nice runs though. The beast is back. ;)

I guess my question is kinda odd, but do you need to have it Tuned every so often, kinda like a TUNE UP so to speak. Mine dyno'd about 450 rwhp when they did the cam swap and all seems fine, but to be honest unless something is major wrong I don't think I would know the difference. I don't really race, drag or autocross etc... but the ocassional dusting at the street light does happen for some unknown reason, lol, think my throttle has a mind of it's own

I'm so glad we figured it out.

No, I'd agree, you shouldn't have to adjust the tune unless there is a major change...

You have good taste in car colour ... bad taste in background misic

there you go again - putting unnecessary us in words :facepalm: ;)

.............:laughabove:

Take it up with the English ... they wrote the language.

You're lucky you have a THR car... Otherwise I would have had to make a comment about it being retarded :laugh:

P.S. The background music...... Run that by someone first. Just till you get your sense of taste back. :D

and we proofread it & sent it back with corrections

wait a second... don't you normally speak French anyway? :iono: i remember getting a certain couple of messages a while back that i couldn't read...

if'n ya look real hard, you can see him here. he's in the middle of the floor

Interesting read on the recent car issue. Thanks for sharing that. Really good info. I'm glad that you guys figured it out and your car is running great again.

C'est un idée populaire (que les Canadiens préfère parlent le Français), mais c'est fausses. Je me souvenir cette nuit. Vous avez changé votre personnalisé titre comme suit "Moderatuer" ou quelque chose du genre. Je pensée tu parlé Français aussi.

Mon erreur.

Le français est une belle langue, en particulier dans les situations romanesques, mais, hélas, même ici dans le Michigan, nous ne le parle pas beaucoup. :(

come on, Ed...
i know you wanna chime in, too :laugh: :rolleyes:

& DG: i never said all canadians spoke french - just y'all in québec... then i checked a map & saw you're in ontario :facepalm: and what made you think i spoke French?

Cyn: Ed uses it enough for all of us :laugh:

WTF? (pardon my Français)

:)
