Default 5.3 with MP112

Hi guys,
I have come across a deal on a used MP112 kit with cooler and I want to put it on a L33 5.3. This is going into a Camaro and I am going to run 1 3/4 long tubes with single 3" exhaust.
What would be the best supporting mods to get the most out of this combo? ie. head porting, cam etc.
What kind of wheel HP could be expected out of this combo?
This is a street car and needs to run on 91 octane gas.
Keep in mind I am at about 3400ft elevation.

Searched and could not find much as far as hard numbers goes.
Thanks for your help!

Cam and good tune for starters. Look up Trever1t. Badass truck. He probably got the most out of a Maggie combo ever!

Cam, tune and huge heat exchanger (these things run hot when you crank up the boost). I'll post up more later, bed time

There is a spacer for the mp112 that helps with heat soak a ton.

Found this while googling real quick. It's called a phenolic spacer adds about an inch between the supercharger and innercooler which acts as a barrier to heat.

Thanks guys,
I am still looking for some hard HP numbers on what a 5.3 on pump gas no meth will do. Can I get close to 500WHP?

Yes and with good reason but didn't he get 7's with a 112 and meth on the 112? That's what I recall anyway. Think he picked up a couple or three tenths after the swap before the juice and much better iat's. Always liked the "Lil Mule"!
