Which set up will give me more added horsepower on a L99 ,a ECS Paxton novi kit with a Fast LSXR Intake or A Magna-charger.bigger injectors ,zl1 fuel pump and which one sound better, installs easier.

ECS paxton with stock intake if the choice was those two. No reason to waste money on a fast.

What make ECS Paxton better than a SLP Super charger.

Bo White · 01-09-2014, 08:02 PM

Less strain on the whole drivetrain. The top mounts make more bottom end boost and power but also puts more load against everything at lower rpm levels. The front mount kits are safer IMO.

greatmike · 01-09-2014, 08:04 PM

Safer is better but that low end kick and easy install are appealing. Will they put out same out if box horsepower

No. After the basic kit, I made over 600rwhp. To get a Maggie to do that, you have to swap shit out like pulleys. You also mentioned a ZL1 pump. Unless you're going to cut a hole under the back seat, that is no easy task on it's own. You'll be getting bigger injectors no matter which route you go unless you're talking about getting even bigger injectors.

So with the Ecs novi . On my l99 with headers , vmax throttle body and my JRE tune will get me at 600 hp wow. Didn't think u could get that .

Chris82xx · 01-09-2014, 08:28 PM

After my install with no headers, I made 642rwhp, but, I also had meth installed too because when you install that, it requires another tune so I figured I'd get it done all in one shot. After I installed headers and got retuned, I made 684rwhp. Stock pump and supplied injectors with the kit.

greatmike · 01-09-2014, 08:30 PM

Looks like I may have to go with the ecs novi

Chris82xx · 01-09-2014, 08:32 PM

If you do go that route, I would recommend the ZL1 pump too. It's more added safety.

greatmike · 01-09-2014, 08:34 PM

Zl1 pump and some injectors. And to think I was going to do a cam and heads . Rather do the supercharger for the horses

Chris82xx · 01-09-2014, 08:46 PM

That's the route I did. S/C first. After I got more comfortable with it, I did cam, and fuel upgrade. Now I'm at the point of no return.

greatmike · 01-09-2014, 08:47 PM

Yeah I really didn't want to tear open the motor I only have 5000 miles on it.

That's a lot of HP on the stock pump.
