Default What do you think of a polished supercharger protruding out of your hood ? Any pics ?

Ok so back to the muscle car look. Would you do it? Cut a hole in your hood and show off your Supercharger ? Anyone have pics of this ?

I am debating doing it.

Buying pollished Maggie.

Looking for pictures.

Will pay someone to template their hood for me.

Thanks,

I've seen it............what you have to remember is that the maggie does not really protrude from the hood. The maggie is more even with the top of the hood (barely above the surface........you can't really tell it's a blower). Until someone manufactures another blower that is MUCH taller.......I think you're wasting your time.

I've yet to see it on a C6 platform; however here's a C5:




Come to think of it, I'm mistaken....I have seen it on a C6 at HPPC's website:

I think it would be better if you had a hood with a slight cowl in it to go over it. JMO...

To each his own right?? Sitting at a stop light with the Maggie sticking out and a big lumpy cam, that purple car is a attention getter. I guess thats why its on the cover and centerfold of Corvette Fever.

When I had my hood off for repainting during bike week here in Daytona it got alot of attention. Almost too much,everyone was rubbernecking and not watching wher they were going. I wouldn't want to have it open it sometimes rains here in Florida.

There was a vendor at the GoodGuys Car Show last month that had developed a manifold for the LSx generation that would mount a 6-71 style supercharger. They had the manifold, pulleys, belts, pumps, and injection. It was outragious!! They actually had one running on a demo stand. Wish I could remember their name. I think a tubbed C6 with a huffer sticking out of the hood would make a great Pro-Streeter. Might search GoodGuys site?

Not a C6, but I thought I'd throw up pic's of the Corvette we ran last year.
