Those interested in Magnuson kits for F-body, step inside - Page 6

I would like to see the modified areas to do this install. i am interested in a bolt-on FI for a streetable 450-500whp range. I would like to do the tuner kit since I have the fuel system, induction and tuner. This would be for the TA.

I read another post that said KB would send a mockup blower for a small deposit. I am getting ready to install an I/C Magnuson kit, so I'm sure I could do some development work for a KB while it's all apart.

Serious guys, PM me and we can discuss some specifics.
Thanks,
Ed

Any guesses on what this kit would make with a 402/AFR225's/ QTP 1 7/8's hvmc's and an appropriate cam? Compression would be about 9.6:1

I think an intercooled kit making 7PSI and a cam similar to Nineball's will put that combo over 600RWHP, the nice thing is that it would probably make about the same amount of RWTQ right off idle.

Hit me up if I can answer any questions.

This is great. I am hoping someone comes up with a KB kit too. I will keep watching this.

Just cut the cowl. You could always weld in a piece so that the water wouldnt run down into the engine bay. Seems much easier than changing the geometry of the car.

Very interesting! Ed thank God for ur experience and talent. I Cant wait to put these on my car.

Ed @ Late Model Speed · 11-12-2006, 10:19 AM

I will have the first production I/C kit from Magnuson in hand on Tuesday, and post some pics. This kit is nice! I think people will really like them when the first kits ship out to customers!

Ed, at what HP level does the I/C Magi lose efficiency and start heating up?

I have usually seen the limit to be 9 PSI, any more boost than that, and the horsepower returns are greatly diminished.

8-9 PSI on a basically stock LS1 should be good for about 600 RWHP

Hope this helps,
Ed

Ed havent seen any movement on the this topic since last week. Sent you a PM any news on the release and other tests? Updates?

camarokid94 · 11-24-2006, 01:05 AM

any track time? now im stuck......... 402+300 shot or rebuild ls1 low cr and mag it GGGRRRRRRR...... about the same price

steveo346 · 11-24-2006, 02:02 AM

hey ed did you ever dyno your car, and i heard u mention u were gonna take it to the track a few weeks ago...what did it run?

any vids of the car in idle or running plz post up this info...i want one bad....anyone know where i can sell a kidney on the black market???

Ed @ Late Model Speed · 11-24-2006, 02:23 PM

Thanks for the interest guys,

The best my non I/C car has been is 11.97@116 and it's making 430RWHP/419RWTQ

I'm installing an intercooled kit now on an otherwise stock '99 Trans Am, which made 280RWHP stock so this will give a good indication of what the typical customer can expect.

Sebastian, let me know if you had any other questions, or if that answered it for you.

Here is a pic of the I/C kit, let me know if I can answer any questions,

never heard of it either. The most power lt1 i heard of was the lt5 with the dohc heads. Maybe he is thinking nof the turbo v6s in the mid80s-early 90s, or the supercharged 3800 series.

I have a question about your kit, has anybody installed it on a stock car to compare numbers? I'm jsut curious, i'm very interested in the kit down the road because of the instant throttle response.

I'm installing one on a bone stock '99 Trans AM A/T right now, hopefully I will have numbers late next week.

I think he is refering to this prototype car with the smaller LT1 I think it was a 4.3 liter engine

That looks pretty sweet! the interesting thing here is that this car is using
the same Eaton 112 supercharger that's in my kit! This one was driven from the front like a truck kit. 8.5 PSI from an intercooled S/C is a TON of power on a street car.
