Got some info today about it:

Its official, the SSR kit will work sans the air intake duct. I want to do one myself here to confirm the "rumor". If there are any local TBSS's that are interested in getting one installed PM me.

well i was talking to a 2005SSR6Speed and he is trying to work out to bring my tbss down to ventura to magnacharger next week for them to start a kit for the trailblazer SS and use my truck as the test vehicle. They would have it for 3-4 weeks and im hoping this falls threw.

Keep us posted.

woo hoo

All I am waiting on is word whether or not they will be ready for NORCAL TBSS on the 7th of July when his drives right past Magnuson Products. I hope we can get this done on the 7th so he doesn't have to make a separate trip down with his TBSS.

It looks like we will have to wait till after the holiday for the answer at this point.

well monday and tuesday they are off. I'm hoping we get the call wed or thursday so I can load the tbss on the trailor and tow it to magnacharger which is almost 400 miles away. I don't mind towing it there cause they make quality products

NORCAL TBSS - Thanks for your patience, it is worth the wait.

H/C/E, Blower. I'm drooling.

The MagnaCharger is great on even a stock LS2.

Depending on power and heat soak issues... I think a Magnacharger would be sweet for a TBSS.

i live in san francisco average temp is 61 over here so heat soak wont be a issue lol

I live in Carlsbad just North of San Diego and I dont have any heat soak issues in my SSR. I have about 25-30 SSR's running the same setup that will be used on the TBSS and dont know of any with heat soak issues. The engine compartment of the TBSS is much bigger too.

I am in MN so our temp can be anywhere from -20* - 110*. I would say average summer heat is around 85mph. I just know on a lot of Maggie cars that after you make multiple passes or dyno pulls you slowly start to lose power.... if I am wrong please tell me.

I traded in my 2005 GTO and was either going to do the Maggie or ProCharger. However, the heat soak on the GTO was terrible and I didn't want to put another item on the car that would generate even more heat. :(

I need more power for this TBSS. I am looking for mid to high 12's....

Multiple passes back to back or the same on a dyno will effect anything even a normally aspirated vehicle. The key is to build it to minimize the cool down time and be as consistent as possible.

only 72 more hours till we hear from magnacharger. not that im really counting lol

:confused: What does not have heat soak?

you know i had a quick question. on the trucks psi vs psi like magnacharger vs vortech or procharger at the same psi dont they all make about the same horsepower and torque

:confused: What does not have heat soak?

Every car will... however, from what I have seen, Magnachargers generate a lot of heat and can shove hot air back in. It doesn't utlize dual intercoolers like a ProCharger. However, the off the line power is amazing from what I've heard.

They are all different types of blowers. The Maggie sits on top of where the intake manifold would normally be and there is a heat exchanger right below it. The Maggie will make about an extra 100hp/120tq (general) and will make a really nice straight power band (good for trucks), however, they can have high heat soak issues (from what I've seen and basic logic). The LS2 engine bay gets extremely hot and the LS2 suffers from bad heat soak in stock trim. The TBSS is slightly better than the GTO as the MAF isn't directly next to the exhaust manifold... but it's still rather close. This makes the air intake temp read higher than it is because it's picking up the expelled exhaust gas temperature. When this happens the vehicles tend to pull timing out and you can lose power rapidly.

With a ProCharger it is a centrifigal blower and will make more mid range and top end power. The power curve looks very similar to a turbo. However, the ProCharger has dual intercoolers for cooler boost. When this happens you can run more boost safely and get increased power. As an example, you run 5-6psi of boost with a Maggie, but you can pump 9-10psi with a ProCharger due to the cooler intake temp charge. But, I think 9-10psi of boost on a high CR LS2 isn't smart. If you did a lower compression LS2 you could easily get 13-15psi out of a D1-SC ProCharger. :) :eek2:

I am not that familiar with Vortech but I believe they have after coolers. After the install the engine bay doesn't look nearly as clean as a Maggie or ProCharger. The Maggies are "plug and play" type installs. Once installed they look like factory components and you can install them in your garage. The ProCharger would take a bit more time to install, but the end result is great. But, we are still waiting to find out if the Maggie and ProCharger will be available for the TBSS. If it were my choice I'd probably go with the ProCharger.

If you had time you could call up Bob at Exotic Performance Plus and I am sure he could get a ProCharger rigged for you. He did one on a CTS-V and made an insane amount of power. He might need to relocate the battery (not a bad idea) and trim and notch out some parts for the TBSS, but I am sure he could work it out.

I also believe the Maggie is a bit more expensive than a P1-SC. If you plan on running big power later on the D1-SC can support upwards of 20-25psi of boost.

The Maggie and ProCharger are great products and it depends on what you want. Our local dealerships install the Maggies on GM trucks and cover them under the normal powertrain warranty.

Are you looking for a moderate power increase with a flat curve, or... do you want big power for 1/4 mile and bragging rights?

The MagnaCharger is also Carb Legal which is a big deal out here on the Left Coast.

The kit may not be CARB exempt on the TBSS.

Well if they have my truck for a few weeks im sure they will be able to pass the cali air resource board tests.

hey joe are they open tomm by any chance? man i hope they call you back

I dont think they will be open till Wednesday Morning. I will check to make sure.

They have an in-house TBSS that they will be using for the developement of the kit. I just hope they get the kit done real soon, I have a list of people waiting for it already.

bob roese(sales and marketing manager) i believe is the in house tbss.says he works at magna so i hope everything goes well.

That is correct. Bob R will get it done....he is the man in charge.

hooray yeah i just saw his posts over on tbss.com hopw they get the kit out pretty soon. Blown,are they first going to test fit the ssr maggie?

My understanding is yes....

yah joe called me today said they wont need my truck arahhh its ok though im still buying the kit. By the time it gets here i should have my longtubes on the truck anyway

norcal have u recieved the longtubes yet??

they should b here on wed or friday

Thats some funny shiot right there. :jest:
I love the Simpsons disclaimer.

What blower is maggie using. The new MP122HH? Thats a ok blower. But if there using the M112 or varyant..... No thanks. Anybody know?

Its the MP112, looks like you will have to pass :)

Why would they do that. They are using the MP 122HH on all the other LS2 aplications. What makes the TB SS any Different. Will ther be an option to upgrade the blower to the better unit?.......

They are not using the MP122H on any of the LS2 supercharger systems. not sure where you got that info. I am sure there will be an option to upgrade later.

who's they?

Magnacharger or anyone fabbing a custom kit......

I don't think the 122's are available just yet, but from what I hear, they will be soon :)

Will they be replacing the 112s or an option?

Will they be replacing the 112s or an option?

I think its fair to say that on most accounts a 122 upgrade would be desirable :drive:

The C6/GTO and SSR will all need the reverse rotation rotor group. All of the LS2 kits have the MP112 and it does great, check below at my signature!

I'm looking for more...... I need something that will feed a 402 stoker LS2. The dutweiller (sp) crate motors use the MP 122HH and make 740ish FWHP...... the MP 112 won't feed that motor. I'm looking for a bit more than a bolt on blower..... I really want a KB but they "have no plans at this moment, but they will look at the demand in a year or so"....... Magnacharger is coming out with a kit soon. If its the better head unint I'll most likly go with it. Anyone have a clue when its going to be out?

there should be some further test data this month, avail soon after.

where did you hear about these duttweiler crate motors?

It is my understanding that the MP122H will not be a kit, it will just be the rotor group and housing for fitment onto a current kit.

supp. mangacharger said the kit doesnt fit under the hood check out trailvoy.com.

2005ssr6speed pm me joe i need to tlak to you

NORCAL TBSS - I am trying to find out if there is any truth to this. I am going to call over again this morning.

just checkin in if you called. If they made a hood for the corvetts to fit a maggie I hope they would do the same for us cause there is a demand for this blower

If Magnacharger is doing the R&D now, which it sounds like they are, all the fitment issues will be addressed before it's released.

There is no word about the kits not working, dont know who started this. Hold tight and be patient they have a TBSS in and being used to develope the kits right now. I just got off the phone with them!

On Magnachargers site......

On Magnachargers site......

Sounds like when they become available this will be an very nice option :)

"The name Kenny Duttweiler is synonymous with mega horsepower and forced induction. With so many years building race motors Kenny knows what it takes to make really big horsepower numbers. World renowned for his engine building, Kenny has chosen to use the Magnuson Products “hybrid” roots style supercharger for his current line of crate motors."

that guy on trailvoy.com is an idiot.

BlownChevy - I agree!!!!!

I guess Bob isn't on this forum, but the sales manager at magnuson bought a TBSS and they are testing on his truck. He seems like a great guy, responded to emails I sent him promptly with good info. Looks like I might need their kit to get project trailblazer in the 11's as planned.

Hmm... any other news?

well the 122h is offered s a upgrade now man should do 12psi easy

So, you can get the Magnacharger with the MP122 internals? Getting even better..
