My dealer has told me I have ruined it for everyone. LOL

They all wanted Camaro's when I got mine...(Dealers first camaro)

After them riding and driving my car everyone at the dealership including the service manager says he could never own one now with out the Maggie.

I bought my wife an L99 after I bought my LS3 and I couldn't stand it. Put a Maggie on it a week later.

But if you put a maggie on there and get a tune with shift points changed as well as getting rid of the AFM system which is all done through software during the tune...You will never believe the difference. I enjoy my wifes car almost as much as my LS3. Its fast ! just push on the go pedal and hang on.

drives like a stocker otherwise....How cool is that.

I have owned several blown Camaro's and its the only way I will have one.

I bought a 1980 Z28 and put a 6/71 supercharger on it 30 years ago. I still have it and it is a blast to drive also.....But I am out of Warranty on that one...

Hell, I'll never have the coin in the bank, but I won't let that stop me from putting one on Thanks for the information regarding your TVS2300 experiences. Important to know that everyone feels their money is well spent.

Have not had it done yet but for the basic TVS2300 with custom tune most of the better shops are starting around $6999 that I have seen.

I have the L99 (SLP ZL 550) with the AFN on. Opted not to turn it off. NO problem with the TVS2300 (average over 27 mpg on recent trip) and have had no problems enjoying the new beast! I would do again .......only sooner. Money well spent and the difference from in 2SS L99 is awesome. Just hold on tight.....when you romp her!

Sounds good, thanks for the input

I couldn't be happier with my THR/Maggie build... I only have one regret.

That I didn't get a chance to drive my car stock so I can fully appreciate the total difference. But I can't imaging owning a Camaro LS3 that isn't supercharged. Make all the difference in the world. But IMO, the Tune is the key. Make sure you get a good tune.

Tim at T and T is a great option for where you are.

I too am interested in everyone's driving experiences, I think we can use some new quotes on our website

I'll give you all the quotes you want.... Discount???

Seriously, I can't express how much more fun the car is with the Maggie.... It's kinda like a shot of adrenaline... On Demand...

This is one of those things I didn't really beleive... But I am a believer that my MPG are better. I do have a Manual car so that helps. But, on the Highway I get easily 22 MPG I'm getting closer to 21 now since it's summer here and HAWAT. So the AC is always on.... But if you can keep from making boost.... you can improve your mileage over stock. Headers and CAI also help.

Thanks

The more boost you make the more likely you will get worse MPG... If I were you, especially if it is a DD... I'd leave the stock pully at 6.5 psi... Try it there then see if you really need to add boost. My guess is you will be more than happy with it out of the box.

That's about right. and I'd highly recomend an aftermarket tune. Some one else here said it but I'll echo...

Understand you will not get any drive train warranty work from the dealer.

And in order to get the Maggie drive train warranty you can't have any other bolt on's and you have to use their tune.....

Which is great if you want some warranty coverage.

IMO, If you can afford it, you will wonder why you waited so long.

OK, a lot of good feedback has come in and John, it's all true. Here is my 2 cents added to the pot.

HORSE POWER IS LIKE CRACK COCAIN. IT'S ADDICTIVE. BEWARE AND ENJOY.

I'm driving a 2010 SS L99. I started off with LT headers, 3" cats and exhaust, CAI and a packaged tune. Added 50 HP. That was fun. Couple of months later I had my Maggie added, dyno tune, trany tune, AFM turned off. OH MY GOD you need to do this. It is a complete different car. It is 10 times better than stock. I also lowered the car and added the sway bars. OH MY GOD you need to do this also. Lately I added the meth cooling mist, smaller pulley and new tune. OH MY GOD again. My new wheels and tires should be in next week. That should have me close to complete.

I just drove up from KY to CT to have Jennetty Racing do the mist and tune plus 8 rib and fuel. I had read that those guys are really good so I had to go see for myself. It was well worth the 1700 miles round trip for me. I can't say enough good things about Ted and his crew. I just wish he was a 400 miles closer to me. I'd go see those guys more often.

GOOD LUCK BUDDY. I THINK I'M SEEING THE END OF THE TUNNEL.

Me want a supercharger...



That really was one of my biggest worries, the MPG thing, since my car is my DD. it would be so hard though, to not want to open up the throttle all the time.

[010 Camaro SS]

Yeah...Definetly on my TO DO LIST...

Yeah I have spoken to Tim at T&T and they are definitely on my radar when I decide to pull the trigger. Also looking at RPM in DE and Livernois but locally I have heard good things about T&T.

Glad to hear the good reviews about the maggie and I'm thinking of running no more than 7psi unless I decide to do meth injection but since I don't plan on racing and it is a spring/summer DD for me so probably will skip the meth but like the idea of protecting the engine with the meth. Luckily I have some time to decide.

Thanks

OH MY GOD! I think your happy with your maggie! Great to know.

Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear from another happy TVS2300 customer.

[Speed74SS]

All of us LPE customers are extremely happy with the Maggies on our cars as well. It is perfect!! I get the power I want at the road track and I still get 27mpg driving nice on the interstate. It is my daily driver as well
