Officially joined the forced induction family today - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I finished installing my Magnacharger TVS-2300 today. The cog drive has been ordered and I need to get a boost and fuel gauge. Installed it myself and it took me three days with some help and encouragement from the Camaro5 family members Nick and Rod. I purchased the supercharger from Texas Speed who gave me an excellent deal and the service was great and the delivery was quick and included in the price of the Maggie.

I just need to go through everything tomorrow to make sure I don't have any leaks or other issues and then put some miles on her before I take her to the track and a dyno run.

Nice install.

I suggest that you get her on the dyno first if you don't have a wide band to check your fueling, especially on a self-install. A few WOT runs with an excessively lean AFR can do some big dollar damage.

Good suggestion, I think I will do that. Im being really mellow with it right now until I make sure that the install went well.

I agree......your buds will want to see and feel the power......don't do it until you get it on the dyno and check to be sure that it isn't running lean in the high rpms......mine was lean as heck at the first install......had i driven it hard that way, i would be building a new motor! I didnt install mine, but they told me when they ran it over to the dyno, because i did not have the factory airbox (for which the maggie tune was made), my readings were off and the car (ecm) wasnt giving enough fuel. I see that you have a k&n......might want to just be sure before you give it too much of a shakedown. Nice job on the installation!

How high in the RPM range can I go until the tune? It may take a while to get her tune with it being new years weekend.
