Magnacharger, headers, heads small cam running on run flat street tires. Which is why I had to roll off the line easy. I had severe traction problems. Otherwise I would have probably hit the 10's.

yea i have an 01 with jba shorty headers, intake, exhaust and the maggie 122 and the best i did was 12.20 at 112 so wondering how u got that 120mph whats heads and cam did u install?

red99c5 commented on 19 Mar 2012

Im running AFR 205 heads and a small GT2-3 Lingenfelter cam. I have a bigger cam for it that should give me more top end, , but just havent got around installing it yet.

the difference between procharger and magnacharger is how the boost is being accomplished, the term supercharged refers to a belt driven compressor, that delivers a charge of air and fuel to the cylinder that is more than the piston could take in naturally, by force, also known as forced induction, this super-charge of air and fuel is also attainable by a turbo, or turbocharged which is an air compressor driven by a common shaft from the exhaust gas, anyway look up the difference between the two

the procharger is a centrifugal supercharger, basically a belt driven turbo it makes boost proportionally to rpm, off the line it might not make as much power, depending what rpm u launch at but will come in through the higher rpms and be very efficient, the magnacharger which is a roots type blower can make full boost as low as 2000 rpm which leads to tire shredding off the line torque but at high rpms there can be an efficiency problem caused by inlet air temps both have thier ups and downs

dtiffany95 commented on 19 Jul 2008

The C5 Magnacharger (like the one you see) has a pulley in the front that connects to a rear pulley set in the back to spin the rotors. The LSx Magnachargers that take air from the front are the same (C5/C6/GTO LS1/LS6/LS2) the Radix (4.8L, 5.3L, 6.0L trucks) takes the air from the rear. Go to Magnachargers website to see better pics of this. LSx magnachargers take air in the front to help compact them. You have to change the hood just to fit it in a C5/C6 unless you cut a hole in it.

You'd need to get forged... everything (pistons, crank, etc), A new clutch or auto tranny, a 9 inch 12 bolt rear differential. I'd probably have the engine ported/polished just to ensure its getting proper CFMs, with that much boost you'd also have to upgrade the fuel system, bigger injectors, better fuel up, maybe even new lines. Finally, you'd have to get a pro (preferably anyway) to tune it, so that you don't destroy the engine. Among other things I know that I'm forgetting.

I love the D1SC but LMSpeeds new HTV2300 units looks bad ass. Ed Potter from LMSpeed emailed me some install pics with the new blower and it looks like it fits alittle better under the cowl than the 112 blower. I asked if the new blower was too big for a stock cube LS1 and they said it works great. They said it starts making boost right off idle. Woo Hoo!!! Since i plan on keeping my '02 SS A4 a street car i like the idea of instant torque :)

dtiffany95 commented on 03 Sep 2008

The Magnacharger is the name used for the type of blower that is on the car. The blower assembly is made by Magnuson, using a Eaton MP112 like the ones used on the 03-04 Cobra, and Ford GT etc. This particular kit was actually designed for the C5 Corvette. I have hit about 11#'s of boost on the street, on the dyno I have only hit about 9 which got the car over 500HP at the wheels and over 400TQ at the wheels around 2200 RPM's.

TaekwondoGuy86 commented on 28 Jan 2009

Can you get a Magnacharger to put out more then 150-200 H.P extra ? i mean i'm talking i want Serious power i've got a 2002 Convertable triple black SS all i have on it right now is Racing exhaust Flowmaster Outlaw Series but i want to see if there is a magna charger that would give me an extra 300-400 horse power money is no object i was just curious if they made them that powerful or not and if so what's the name please ?.

dtiffany95 commented on 26 Jan 2008

The cam does have a nice lope to it but its exadurated by the QTP headers and Loud Mouth. The cam is a Speed Inc custom grind they offer for SC cars. It does not effect my boost as it has a 117 LSA. I got this cam so it would have that lope on purpose. I have been changing my setup though and changed cams. New video will be out soon. The cam's profile is 226/234 .598/.599 117. It is called the SC3 cam from Speed Inc

dtiffany95 commented on 30 Jun 2010

@n4schristian It can run more. Its nearly impossible to compair what your car ran and this one without being at the same track. Did you run your car in Georgia in the summer heat with a DA of over 2500ft? If not its really hard to compair. I been to alot of tracks and seen guys pick up .5-1.5 seconds just from weather, DA and track location. I have seen them loose just as much as well. Too many variables.

dtiffany95 commented on 08 Mar 2008

I have not heard of any going yet, several thousands of these on Corvettes, GTO's, Trucks (Radix). If it did go it would not be too bad. Not much worse then when any other belt would go. It looks close by the angle but there is more room then you can see in that little video. I made a few other videos on here with the kit. Sure can run into one of these days, shoot me an email.......

dtiffany95 commented on 16 Nov 2007

I have not posted recently but I had an oil consumption issue and after fixing that issue this car made 528RWHP/524RWTQ @ 9lbs of boost. It made 500TQ @ 3K RPMS and @ 1700 RPMS it made 400TQ. Pictures of this setup can be seen on my web site as well badmonkeymotorsports dot com. ITs tuned right. Also have to mention you have to lower your K memeber to make this fit as well

dtiffany95 commented on 26 Jan 2008

I have used Centri's before I use to have a Procharged C5. I know of a few people running forced induction on LT1's. One I know of has a 383 and a P1SC ATI makes damn good power. They are great boost comes in around 3500 so it does not kill you MPG either with them. Vortech, and ATI make kits for the LT1 and produce pretty good numbers with the right supporting parts.

2002blacknitews6 commented on 07 Jul 2010

I can see a stock bottom end LS1 running in the 10.9's on low boost when you add heads with some compression dropped, a nice cam, headers and catback. I also like the fact with the new blower you have the option to run a MAF. And i love the look of the blower under the hood on the LS1 f-body. I hope my car looks like that in the future :)

dtiffany95 commented on 05 Dec 2007

Several things have to happen to make it fit. Basically its a kit offered by LM Speed in Decatur, IN. He is on the internet check for him on ls1tech he is a sponser on there. I listed a web site a few posts back if you like email me at the address on that site and I can give you better details. I will run out of room here.

dtiffany95 commented on 01 Dec 2007

I had a procharger before on my Procharger C5 it made 501RWHP/463RWTQ at 12#'s of boost. That was a stock block LS1. This kit stock short block, and 9#'s of boost made 200 more TQ at 3000 RPM's, and over 100 more peak TQ then the procharger. And it did it with less boost. My website has details on my previous setups.

dtiffany95 commented on 03 Nov 2009

They are both good superchargers. I prefer the magnacharger for the street for applications around 550 or less, the procharger when you want more. They both can get you 550 easy, the prochrager will just get you over that much better and easier than the Maggie. I own a procharger now on my TBSS.

dtiffany95 commented on 23 May 2010

@freespm74 I setup most my cars to run mid 11's. This car was every bit of in that grove, but I never had the chance to run it. I sold it before I got the chance to run it. The guy taht bought it from me ran a mid 7 in the 1/8 with it though if my memory serves me correctly.

friesngravy commented on 08 May 2009

a procharger is a belt driven supercharger not an exhaust spooled turbocharger...it's a centrifugal type which does not use "screws`to force the air..that is the difference..that`s why they look like turbochargers from one side as opposed to the screw type eatons

dtiffany95 commented on 25 Jul 2007

The car made 505RWHP/480RWTQ. Its running rich needs a bit more fine tuning but overall it runs strong. It makes over 400RWTQ at 1600 RPM's. When its done we should be around 530RWHP or so for cost email at damon at badmonkeymotorsports dot com for more details.

dtiffany95 commented on 23 May 2010

@TransAm5667 Cutting teh cowl is the hardest part. Everything else is cake. Its actually fairly easy. Especially if you get teh complete kit. If you take your time, its really not that hard. After the few I have installed by far the Magnacharger is the easiest.

BlackSS76 commented on 22 Feb 2008

Thats sick bro. I love the idea of a maggie on an fbodie, especially camaro ss. BTW: are U in Frankfort? I am right down the road in Salvisa(Mercer County) right past L_burg. Hit me up. I wouldn't mind racing even though Im sure U'd pull me hard up top ;)

dtiffany95 commented on 11 Dec 2009

There is a jack shaft on the left side (passenger side) that lines up with teh standard accessories and it spins the pulleys in teh back. It the exact same blower that the 1997-2004 Corvette uses. The snout is the only major difference blower wise.

dtiffany95 commented on 16 Nov 2007

The KB will not fit the F Body without major modification and to this day there is no street driven KB 4th Gen FBody that I know of. Just to make this fit I had to modify it under the cowl that is why I zoomed in on it back there so people can see.

dtiffany95 commented on 03 May 2007

Thanks, I like prochargers I use to have one on my C5. This kit makes alot more torque down low for my needs and driving habits in my area. Procharger was a consideration but was gonna cost more to get what I wanted for what this already does.

JOZ1030 commented on 25 Apr 2008

nothin really the all cost the same and do the same but magnacharger is the way to go from wut i heard o magnachargers are a posative replacement wich from wut i herd is the best and last the longest for these engines

eddie94 commented on 18 Oct 2007

It's crank driven like all superchargers. This one has a small pulley on the back and a rod on the other side that has 2 pullies one to turn the pulley on the blower and one on the front to be turned by the crank.

dustin B commented on 01 Dec 2007

honnestly i love supercharged cars but the roots type blowers use to much horse power they take around 100 + horse power to run i would stick with a procharger but again its baised on personal preff

Nihilith commented on 04 Dec 2007

Tell me, how did you get the Magnacharger to fit underneath your cowl? I have been VERY interested in getting a Magnacharger onto my LS1 but I have been being held back by other factors.

Jeff Sykes commented on 25 Dec 2007

He probably doesnt have one anymore. You can convert a Mass airflow system to a speed density system that doesnt use a MAF sensor with a stand alone or piggyback fuel management system.

its making aroung 550bhp. The only regret or recomendation i can give you is make sure you have the crank double lock keyed before installing the supercharger. otherwise you might have the harmonic balencer come off when under a lot of pressure.

VetteMaro commented on 31 Oct 2012

when i bought the car it didnt have covers at all. so i put some on that i had from a previous car.

07Z06ss commented on 22 Oct 2012

Why do you have the black ls1 covers instead of the red ls6 covers

ftwfckyea commented on 30 Apr 2012

badass ride...i miss my 02 black Z06 :(
