Go for it, all you will lose is your warranty. You will however gain a lot of fun factor.

Talk to a shop to get the full potential.
Just strapping on a maggie with nothing but stock everything is robbing the real maggie power.
Get every supporting mod and you won't even regret it.

Callaway Cars has over 120K on their LS3 2010 Grand sport with a maggie. They are HARD miles. All their authorized dealers have seen it and driven it. Any customer that wants a demo has driven it. It has been to Spring Mountain twice and all the sales guys have tracked it. Plus its seen every kind of weather imaginable. I say DO IT! I will be once I can afford it.

some people i talked to said for the future its best to go with a centrifugal blower because a maggie just falls flat once a certain horsepower is gained. true or false?
