thinking of doing a maggie supercharger. advice please - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Maggies experience a wall at around 700-800rwhp because it's just not enough blower.

If your plans are to run 8s with single power adder and push over 1000rwhp, then yes, a centri is the way to go.

If not you can easily get 750-800rwhp out of a maggie with a few custom upgrades, then just spray your way to 1000+.

buy a smaller blower pulley up front
buy bigger injectors up front
Swap these items out before you even install it, so you only have to tune 1x, at least for a little while till you want more

anyone upgrade to a Maggie and feel the car became too much for a DD? I see these random comments about getting sideways going 50mph etc.

I have broke the tires loose @ 60 on the interstate by nailing it on a sunny day. Maggie with a 3.4 pulley and meth. Wouldn't have it any other way. Do It!!

Do you know what the boost is set at in this car? Also, any internal work?

I also see you're relatively new here.. I would ask that you look through this subforum.. You'll see countless threads and posts on this very topic... It's been covered a great deal..

Now, if you have specific questions, please feel free to ask.. But, like I said.. A great deal has been covered on all the base points.

Midway Chevy in Phoenix has a performance center, they are a Magnacharger dealer/installer, they were running a special on them a while back on the arizona all gens camaro forum. Check it out.

No you WILL NOT lose your warranty. I purchased my Maggie through SLP, installed by the Chevy dealership and purchased their 5yr/100K Powertrain warranty. They also offer a 3yr/36K warranty. The standard GM bumper to bumper stays in effect. These warranties are accepted by all Chevy dealers and paid for by SLP.....Times are changing my friend, get educated before offering info.

Do the cam also so they don't have to pull it all of again. U can never get enough. If u wait u will pay more in the end.

Jessika · 08-05-2012, 01:11 AM

Actually, sone other supercharger companies offer the 5/100 power train warranty as well. So you have lots of options if you are wanting to keep that coverage.
but they ALL require everything else to be stock including the supercharger tuning
