Looks like a cowl hood on top of the engine.
Brian will show the difference he has tons of time on the maggie stuff pretty sure he still has all that data.

There obviously is a lot of heat soak into the intercooler with the top mount blower. Think about Supersubs phenolic spacer and how much it helped out with that problem. I could see these having an issue too being that the roots are sitting right in the valley of the engine and is probably soaking up that heat as well.

I wonder what the differences are between this blower and the one on the LS9?

Looks like it may be somewhat easier, packaging speaking to install a larger intercooler core given you don’t run into cowl clearance issues. Somewhat akin to what Lingenfelter has done on their LS9 package.

Looks nice and interesting. I'd like to see more about it too. Don't plan on it being cheaper pricing compared to other companies out there. They have always been a little more expensive than other companies on certain categories. Their small block engines for example are kinda pricy compared to "others". Made in the USA is good though.

That looks 10Xs better than the camaro kit. Thumbs up Edelbrock!


That bieng said when i pop the hood of a vehicle that is blown i like to see the compressor housing. That is one key element for most who buy forced induction, They want the power and the coolness factor of " popping the hood" and showing off what they just spent 5+ Grand on .

First impression: This is a nice system, very complete and well made. I plan on testing once they have the cathedral port manifold available so we can see some true comparison numbers.

Check out the pictures on our FB page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Super...09811932412878

there will be more photos coming!

It's advertised for 99+ trucks and they don't have a cathedral port version yet...

What am I missing here.
