Curious to see how the maggie works with the meth/water combination?
I bet if you tried Meth only it might not hurt the internals of that blower??
Let me know how that turns out.

i just got a 01 lightning and after looking at it and what not, how about doing that same setup kinda like like lightning/cobra setup with a intercooler under the blower and a heat exchanger in front of the radiator?


btw you are the **** my man

As you probably can see that the space and height between the blower pully and hood is already very close. I could not fit a intercooler below the blower that would be large enough to do anything other that restrict my internal ducting. I really would have done this if I could make one fit! Maybe I'll revisit the design once this one is working to see if it is possible. I always say "never say never"!
Thanks!

Make it an option for the guys that want to run a cowl hood.

Seen some nasty c5s with that hood hump hiding something.

I don't know your background nor just how much work this would take to design but props to you. Never say never because we have been told for many years this wouldn't work or wasn't practical.

Yes you are right. By no means do I attemp to steal thunder, but deliver something that no one else has. Here is the thread.

This is not a maggie, it is a wieand with a set up and design completely different. The intake duct work to me seems very restrictive not to mention the weiand is a very basic roots blower compared to a magnuson M112. None the less this no doubt took many hours of work and kudos to him.. There was also a factory Firebird X car by GM that had tested the idea, here is that link.

Lingenfelter had apparently made a Magnuson LT1 Trans AM and there were others as well.
I have done a lot of research to find one that works and is available to purchase or is a sensible design, and after many years of waiting and looking and seeing many attempts to do this I have given up waiting and put my best engineering skills to the test to do it, not just for me but to make a feasible clean reliable design and production kit is my goal! The market is not that big but it has to be done by someone finally.
I will most likely use the TVS or Whipple 140AX for the production models.

thats not the car or setup im thinking of...the guy Im thinking of had a maroon TA with an Eaton 112 from a lightning.. all I remember is he posted some vids of the car and setup and that it was tuned by PCMforless... I have looked in the vids section and cant find the vids or any links to it.
