VENTURA, CA – Like the iconic ’69 ZL1 Camaro, the new Magna Charger ZLs™ equipped 2010 Camaro features an all-aluminum 500hp engine wrapped in crisp Gen 1-inspired sheet metal. However, that’s where the similarities end. Chevrolet sold just 69 of the highly coveted ZL1s and virtually none of them ever saw the street. By contrast, almost anyone can build a Magna Charger ZLs. It’s as easy as bolting on a new Magna Charger MP 2300 TVS supercharger system. While the original ZL1 was reported to have more than 500hp and 450ft.lbs. of torque pushing the car to low 13s @ 110mph, the ZLs is even more powerful, and capable of 12.5s @ 115 mph. What’s really nice is that you can drive the Magna Charger ZLs every day without a penalty in fuel mileage or low-speed driveability. Where the original ZL1 was a cantankerous 8mpg anachronism, the ZLs is smooth, quiet and clean – equally ready to deliver top EPA mileage figures or smoke the tires in any gear – your choice!

Magna Charger’s new MP 2300 supercharger technology is the same used for the new ZR1 Corvette. The four-lobe rotor features a high-twist 160º helix that has improved efficiency (less power to drive), cooler discharge temperatures and is much quieter. Additional efficiency is the result of the unique bypass valve that reduces parasitic drag during normal driving. The Magna Charger also interfaces seamlessly with the GM Active Fuel Management system (some models) that cuts the engine to four cylinders at light throttle.

The Magna Charger ZLs system comes complete with a new, patented high-velocity aluminum intake manifold, integral water-to-air intercooler, and all necessary brackets, connectors, hardware and any needed specialized tools. The supercharger has a self-contained lubrication system that is maintenance-free. Calibration is included with a handheld computer programmer that re-programs the factory ECU and stores the original calibration for possible future use. A full instruction manual with color photos makes the step-by-step installation process easy to follow.
This information not for repost. Please link to tr.im/2010camaromagnacharger instead.
All Magna Charger supercharger systems carry a Standard 3-Year Limited warranty on the supercharger system, and Magna Charger also offers an optional 36,000-mile/3 Year Powertrain Warranty. For more information and to order, please visit http://www.hotpart.com

JakeRobb 06-22-2009, 05:36 PM Cool.
12.5 @ 115? Seems like half a second and 5mph isn't much to gain from a supercharger. Then again, this is powertrain only, right? No suspension or tire changes? With that in mind, wouldn't it be more informative to talk about dyno numbers than quarter mile times?
426HPSS 06-22-2009, 07:49 PM is factory 5yr /160Kms and or GMPP lost when these babies are installed??
I assume yes...

492 RWHP and 455 ft.lbs. RWTQ! These are the ratings Magnuson will be publishing, and they are produced with only 6 pounds of boost.

I'm assuming that 6psi is about the safe limit without meth injection?
Will someone figure out if this rear end will withstand any kind of abuse? Hate see all the money spent only to run on slippery street tires.
I'm hearing axle shaft spline failures on the street with street tires? Hopefully just a manufacturing defect.....

Magnuson is not allowed to use the trademarked TVS name but they are the exact same units. Hennessey and Lingenfelter both utilize the Magnuson Products supercharger system that includes all of necessary components required for a complete and thorough installation. The programmer, fuel injectors, intercooler, intercooler pump, intercooler reservoir, hoses, clamps, wiring, fuses, intake manifold gaskets, intake manifold, intercooler, aftercooler, brackets, hardware, manifold lid, supercharger, inlet adapter, hump hoses, auxiliary shaft, auxiliary belt, auxiliary bearings and every other nut bolt washer wire tie and fuel disconnect tool that you will need to properly install the supercharger kit.
For now the computers must be sent to them for programming until the handhelds can be upgraded to the new applications.
2010_5thgen 06-23-2009, 03:11 PM how long/short an easy/hard of an install is this for , lets say , a guy who isnt very mechanically inclined...... its my friend..... not me.... he's shy. thats why im asking.
2010_5thgen 06-23-2009, 03:14 PM will the factory engine cover fit over the blower? i think that would be slick if you could hide it under there.

I don't know about hiding it completely, but the sides have been put back on with some modification:

81Z28355 06-24-2009, 02:37 PM Not to steal the thunder from the supercharger. But didn't late model racecraft get 500RWHP from just a Cam, full exhaust, cold air and tune. Is more boost available with some safety still built in?
I guess I was just looking for more from an engine this size with a superchager. For the price of these units a camaro 2SS is now pushing $42k without changing anything else and you just voided your powertrain coverage.
I want a Camaro as bad as the next guy, but without a factory offered car with the LSA that has all the power and powertrain coverage for 5 years. The Mustang GT 500 looks to be a better choice for the money. Local dealer has left over 2009's for $42 out the door. If you are not biased and like both cars the same that is.:cool:

it looks good with the covers on the side. i would have to go with that.
how hard is it to tune the supercharger after installed? what about other components on the car like headers ,catback and intake? how will that affect the tunning?

If you are after massive power and pure straightline acceleration, then you really have to get the GT500. Like any other car, they have their downfalls, but when it comes to power and acceleration they are hard to beat. Sure, the Vette matches them from the factory, but those GT500's will take one HELL of a beating and keep on ticking. I have never seen another car that can run high 10's to low 11's so easily, repeatedly, safely, and cheaply.
The Camaro is a completely different animal. More refined I would say. It just doesn't feel the same. I have no doubt a 500rwhp Maggie Camaro would be a Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hide type of ride! Would definitely be awesome, just in a different way.

BOSSUPSGENERAL 06-27-2009, 08:30 AM Another question i have is do you think these magnusen chargers will have anything on those prochargers when they finally make one for the new camaros? Because everything ive read on them the prochargers are suppose to be a way better power upgrade!!

The beauty of the Magnachargers is that they have proven power and RELIABILITY on LSX engines.
As for the Prochargers, or any other system, you can only make as much power as the given LSX engine can handle. Typically the week spots are the rods and/or pistons.
Therefore, it doesn't matter if System A makes 500rwhp, System B makes 600rwhp, and System C makes 700rwhp if the engine can only safely handle 500rwhp. System A is all you need unless you are going to rebuild the engine.
Not sure what the boosted limit on the LS3 is, but I bet SAFE limits are up around 500rwhp.......

Every human has a bias. Yours is for value and prudence. Nothing wrong with that but just because you like both cars does not make you a person without a bias. The only issue I have with the 09 GT500 is the horrific F150 interior it comes with.

Maybe I should have said brand loyal?
This will be a huge purchase for me, so I want to buy the best car that will perform the best and still maintain drivability of a stock car. I have a Camaro with an off road exhaust and a huge cam and 4:11 gears ect. The car drives poorly. Oh yes its fast but my wife hates to ride in it. So for me I was hoping for a Z/28 500+ hp, and 11 second ¼ miles. It looks like the SS is capable of that with a supercharger and some work, but how long will the engine last, and how will it drive? I have no problems with modding a car and making it your own but I guess your right I am price biased and would rather have a car with the performance that I want from the factory with a warranty.

All great points and reasons to lean towards a factory built car. A buddy of mine had his C6 Corvette supercharged and the performance is amazing but it is not the best daily driver and needs lots of TLC, tunes etc which would drive me nuts.

500 to the wheels or crank? because 500 to the carnk shouldnt be any harder than a few bolt ons. 500 to the wheels would be installing a supercharger, which will put crank power around 550.

how long the engine will last is always up to the driver. you can ask me and ill tell you forever, because i wont drive mine hard constantly . you may ask someone else and they will say 1 year because they will beat the crap out of it. remember who you are talking to when you ask questions of life expectancy.

i had a s/c trans am and never had a problem with it. ill be putting a s/c on my camaro next year. its very reliable power and i wouldnt doubt the install at all. on my trans am, i had it installed(vortech) and then tuned at livernois motorsports in dearborn hts ,MI. they did an amazing job. got my 420hp at the rear wheels and it drove just like it did before. except much faster. no bucking, no jerking, stauling, NOTHING. i will be putting a magnuson on my 2010 camaro ss.

You get more power by drawing in cooler air.

Uh, what about a Z06. Just add DR's or slicks. Will run low 11's without even adding anything.
The pig of a GT500 requires much more to run those times.

You can certainly run high 10's more cheaply in a GT500. I would also argue that the rearend of the Corvette is much closer to the limits at that point than the GT500, which is the argument for safely and repeatedly.
As for the Z06, you are correct about it being easier. I just didn't mention it since the GT500 is over $20,000 cheaper. Not to say it isn't worth it either. I think it is. However, when it comes to drag racing a GT500 is a serious competitor. I think a Magna Charger Camaro SS will also be a great competitor because of the relatively cheap starting price. That is if the rearend proves up to the task. We will see.

what about the regular vette with a z51 package? i know it beat the 09 gt500 in 1/4 mile i dont know about the '10, but adding slick to that should get you damn close to low 11's and right around the same $ as the gt500. even a base model vette should give it a good run. and at under 50k thats not bad.

I am having a Lingenfelter upgrade installed once my car is built. I am at code 3400 with a TPW of 8/17, so I should get a VIN# anytime this week (if all goes well). Car is being sent to LPE from GM for the upgrade.
it will be 570HP (engine) 510 RWHP.

I don't want a FORD... thanks but no thanks:barf:...
Ahh, the Ford vs. Chevy thing is retarded. I used to think like that when I was a teenager too.
In the end you want the best tool for the job. Ford builds a real good car these days.
ZZtop 08-19-2009, 07:52 PM what about the regular vette with a z51 package? i know it beat the 09 gt500 in 1/4 mile i dont know about the '10, but adding slick to that should get you damn close to low 11's and right around the same $ as the gt500. even a base model vette should give it a good run. and at under 50k thats not bad.
Again, GT500 rearend with slicks > Corvette rearend with slicks.
2010_5thgen 08-20-2009, 08:04 AM dollar for dollar,ill stick with the vette. even if it is a base model over a fully loaded gt500.
2010_5thgen 08-20-2009, 08:05 AM I am having a Lingenfelter upgrade installed once my car is built. I am at code 3400 with a TPW of 8/17, so I should get a VIN# anytime this week (if all goes well). Car is being sent to LPE from GM for the upgrade.
it will be 570HP (engine) 510 RWHP.
im getting twins:D 600hp to the wheels:cool:
570hp-lpe 08-25-2009, 01:56 PM im getting twins:D 600hp to the wheels:cool:
That will be fun!
I just got my VIN # today! Let the shipping to LPE Commence!:D
JasonD 08-25-2009, 02:04 PM According to the info I got from HotPart, my Magnacharger should be here on Thursday of this week! I will post updates to my project blog (see PhantomSS link in sig)!
Cannot wait to get this project rolling! :thumb:
ZDriver96 08-25-2009, 06:14 PM I've never seen a supercharger fall on its face like this. bad tune?
See link for Supercharger Types Pros/Cons
http://www.superchargersonline.com/content.asp?id=5
Screw Type Superchargers
Recommended Usage:
Street Use - Towing - Road Racing - Drag Racing
Positive Points:
1) Great Power at Low RPMs (Great for Towing)
3) Factory Fit & Appearance
4) Great Reliability
Negative Points:
1) The Power Doesn't Keep Climbing in the High RPMs (Power curve is very flat)
2) Challenging To Achieve High Boost Levels or CFMs
3) Lengthy installation times
So i guess the twin screw produces good power down low but not like the Centrifugal superchargers that make better power up top than down low like the roots and screw types..
Something to considering when choosing your system.

I have personally owned both styles on several different cars and I will take the positive displacement (roots, screw, or the hybrid Magnacharger) any day over the centrifugal.

JakeRobb 08-26-2009, 08:48 AM centrifugal , you mean like pro charger or vortech?
Yes, those are centrifugal. Centrifugal are the ones that look kinda like a turbocharger and mount like an accessory; roots-type take the place of the intake manifold, sitting right on top of the heads.
2010_5thgen 08-26-2009, 10:07 AM thats what i thought. i never heard it called centrifugal before.

Yeah I can't speak from personal experience since i've never owned one. I've always went down the heads/cam n/a path. But most systems on the F-bodys and Vettes that I've seen have been centrifugal. The screw types looks like a cleaner set up. But I really can't say what will produce the better power band. But I do know that a 500 HP in "Camaro A" is not the same as 500 HP in "Camaro B" because its the average horsepower that really matters not the peak.
Looking at the Dyno of the screw type that was posted it looks like that type of supercharger would be better for vehicles with lower power bands.
But we really need to see 1/4mile times from a screw and a centrifugal camaro... and of course keep the same transmission types, boost settings/mods etc.
Having a supercharger in a new Camaro would be bad ass and at that point i don't think it really matters what type :)
2010_5thgen 08-27-2009, 01:13 PM from what i have heard the roots blowers, like the magna charger, are great for low end torque and hp, but not alot at the top of the rpm's. it actually showed lack of boost at high rpms. very maintanance free though. i am pretty impressed by the hp numbers that some of these tuners have been able to get out of them though.

let me know what kind of power gains you get after its tuned.

saw that on facebook.
can't wait Jason :metal:
2010_5thgen 08-28-2009, 08:01 AM i saw this same blower on a new camaro on another web site. they got almost 560 horse to the wheels i think. i was very surprised by how much power it was getting. it had a intake, tune, 8or 9 lbr of boost and the fuel system redone. i think zr1 injectors. put out some really good power. i didnt think they had that much potential.

fast83z28 09-25-2009, 05:01 PM Is that $750 off MSRP or $750 off of their advertised price of $6987.50?

Thats not very difficult considering that with just a set of American Racing Headers and a tune you gain 50rwhp
JasonD 09-25-2009, 05:56 PM Is that $750 off MSRP or $750 off of their advertised price of $6987.50?
$750 off their price.
hotpart 09-26-2009, 09:55 AM Is that $750 off MSRP or $750 off of their advertised price of $6987.50?
The $750.00 is off our already discounted price.
2010_5thgen 09-28-2009, 08:00 AM $750 off their price.
did you get yours put on yet?
JasonD 09-28-2009, 09:39 AM did you get yours put on yet?
I am right in the thick of trying to orchestrate timing for the suspension tweaking, window tint, header/exhaust install, supercharger install...
So no...but we are expecting this week. :D
2010_5thgen 09-28-2009, 11:29 AM i hope i can get my order in for the supercharger this week. i want those pedders sway bars too. i need them bad. my car isnt tight enough.
JasonD 09-29-2009, 07:22 PM Finally, the car is heading over to my shop to get things done. Should be great!
2010_5thgen 09-30-2009, 08:00 AM lucky bastard!
JasonD 09-30-2009, 08:05 AM Luck? I wish. It took a lot of careful planning, selling my 2002 in 2006, pinching pennies, eating macaroni and cheese out of the box every night, donating blood twice every week...
;)
2010_5thgen 09-30-2009, 01:39 PM hey i did the same thing. i sold my trans am in february of 06 and have been saving alot of money since then. i didnt donate blood though. just plasma and sperm. not at the same time.
IrocSS85 10-08-2009, 11:19 AM cool jason, cant wait to see the results from the headers/scharger/tune. is he gonna dyno the car after the headers and whatnot, then put the supercharger on? or all at one time?
can someone blow up that dyno graph that was posted, I cant see it very good at all. looks like over 550tq and almost 500 HP? dynojet right?

right click the graph - click open in new window (or tab) that will do it.

They are going to test just the headers first.
IrocSS85 10-09-2009, 09:20 AM cool jason.
when I right click on the graph, the "open in new tab/window lines are not lit up. as in, I cannot choose them.??????

2010_5thgen 10-09-2009, 10:01 AM 480 hp with just the supercharger? 503 with headers and blower? am i reading the graph right? what was the stock basel ine power dynoed at?

if I remember right, the first graph is street tune and the second is dyno tune.. but i`ll ask to be sure
IrocSS85 10-10-2009, 09:18 AM wonder why those chargers dropp off at 5500rpm? man that is alot of power though for a nearly stock car still. must be a fun ride.
2010_5thgen 10-10-2009, 03:53 PM that is one thing i have heard as kind of a down fall from these bloweres. they do start to drop off in boost the higher the rpm range goes. gobbs of torque down low though.
IrocSS85 10-10-2009, 09:59 PM yeah its one of those things I guess. knew that they start VERY low in therpm to make peak boost instead of ramping up like a centrifugal. problem with that is, its kinda useless to have that kinda power if you cant use it cause you just spin the tires off the line. would make a very fun street car though. wonder if there's anything that can be done to shift that up in the rpm range a bit?
what does a smaller pulley do to the starting and ending point of the curve?
what boost is the stock pulley putting out?
anyone know of the limits of the stock rear end? Im liking these new cars more and more as I see them, and here how they respond to mods.
2010_5thgen 10-12-2009, 08:31 AM i dont know. i think im goign to order my s/c this week though. is hotpart.com still having that special with 750 off? will they price match if i find a better deal?
i saw on this one web site, they are sellingthe magna charger and the slp tvs2300 s/c. the price difference was crazy. it was like 7400 for the magnacharger and 6800 for the slp. whats the difference between the 2? just a distributor thing?

The coupon still works, I just tried it.. As far as deal matching...I am sure they would like the opportunity if you find a lower price.

The camaro kit SLP is selling is purchased from Magnacharger.
Our coupon code is still active and we will give about 2 to 3 weeks notice when we decide to deactivate it.
