I personally think they are junk. But buddy wants one.
Running mid 11s to high 10's with them just shows how crappy they are. No offence guys.

I think if you are not going to mod the car any further that they may be a good choice for a nice kick in the pants !

well to each there own, it's like they say different strokes for different folks, and boost being the same, 7#s they are right where the other superchargers are running.

I think positive displacement is great on a truck that needs the power down low......in a light weight vehicle like a vette......its tire spin and useless and ineffiecient up top where you want the power in a vette

How much boost can you get out of these? Drove in a buddies 99 Saturday night that just had a 427 installed and had the Maggie put back on. The had to repulley it to put out 6#s.

JUNK is kind of a harsh word to use when not trying to offend someone !

Just another Internet idiot (no offence) that doesn't have a clue.
Every supercharger has plus and minus areas. There is NO supercharger out there on the market that is "junk".

I'm really interested to hear more about the 2009 ZR1's supercharger and find out about retrofitting it to other LSx cars.

I will go on record and say that I think the Maggie is "junk".

I will also say that Funcool's self control is impressive seeing that he has not broken anything.

For a guy who owns an automatic car that REFUSES to rebuild the transmission or go with forged internals in the future, I think the Maggie is great.
I'd personally do a Maggie on an automatic Trailblazer SS or a 2009 Pontiac G8.

I can't wait to see Funcool step up to a ECS Paxton or a TTi-X and makes some serious power with that forged motor.
Once Funcool does that, we can FINALLY stop hearing about the Maggie.

No maggie will out do my low end torque. 6.129 1/8 mile and then the tranny let go..

I am seeing forged 402 with big heads and maggies spinning and only running low 11's to high 10's..not worth the $8000-$10000 they cost.
