shamrockgold Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I am thinking about purchasing a magna charger for my '03 SS. Any information from anyone who has one would be helpful. Power gains, drivability, etc......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 You definately won't be dissapointed. If you want specifics, do a search here in the forum on supercharged or magnacharger and you will find all kinds of threads related to the subject.

GEAR M UP Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 My Magnacharger just came in today! I need to figure out what to do with the gages. I was thinking of putting them up in that cubby hole next to the lights. I saw the rail gages (everone has), I just want to keep a some-what the stock look. Any suggestions?

GEAR M UP Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 It's going in Saturday. Dyno without supercharger, and then dyno and tune after install. Piler, that's how mine is currently layed out. I'm thinking of tucking it in one of the three cubby holes in the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimsoftball Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Sounds great, we may actually get some good dyno numbers for our trucks. With and without the Magnacharger. Yea I think the gagues would look cool there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted October 7, 2003 Report Share Posted October 7, 2003 Hopefully, you'll be able to add two trucks to the supercharged list Saturday. How the hell did you get yours so quick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is what my pillar gauges look like, although the top gauge is now a Datkota Digital water temp guage. The Autometer water temp guage did not work at the temp range the intercooler coolant operates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I got connections through Miami" My guy thats doing the install ordered it. He does a lot with Magnacharger and ATI superchargers. Do you order the chrome or silver star-dust? I order the plain-Jane silver star-dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GEAR M UP Posted October 8, 2003 Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 Whistle..... It like when you get married.... It all about the trade-offs, and how to get blown.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrockgold Posted October 8, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2003 talked with Kevin at Magnacharger in CA. Really liked what he told me .Said charger would add about 115 hp to wheels, the truck i drove today had old style sidemount magnacharger not intercooled. He said new intercooled version was quieter. Ordered mine today from performance co. here, cant wait to get it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
