the car doesnt run hotter(correct me if im wrong jason). you just get more heat going into the motor because the blower is sitting on top of the motor. it just takes longer for it to cool down. the other blowers get warm but dont effect the engine temp as much because their not actually connected to it. jason has the same headers as me...borla long tube , no cats.

Just that and headers and a tune. I added the LS9 camshaft a bit later.
Yep! That is one thing that I wanted that type of blower for...I love the "gear drive" sound. However, they designed it not to whine, thinking that people would like it that way. They now have a solution...a rear cog-drive system and adds the sound to it and also eliminates any belt slippage (but I don't know if that is a big issue). I have one, just not installed. Hope to soon!
Do they come with injectors and do they recommend bigger fuel rails and a better intake? I haven't checked lately.
Yeah, the Maggie does have a lot of heat soak. An hour after driving my car, it is still pretty warm.

The maggie has SOME whine to it...just nothing outlandish.
does your car run hotter with the magnacharger?
also, did you get shorty headers? or full length? cat delete? just trying to get some info from someone who has upgraded. I havent added anything yet to mine, and I don't want to find out the hard way that something won't fit..

Here is how easy and well Borla headers fit...

I think I'm going to go with the magnacharger now...too bad chrome costs like $1100 more, I still think I'm going with chrome though. and some borla headers, and the borla ATAK cat back exhaust..
thank you guys for all the info, I appreciate it. I'm sure I'll hear from you all about some other stuff when I start asking questions haha.
