Default Old School MP90---Worth it???

I am thinking about picking up an old MP90 kit.

Sent a PM to BlownChevy, and he said it wasn't worth the time, but of course I want a few more opinions

I know that I will not get nearly the gains of a MP112, but it will be half the price (1k-1500 or so). I will be happy with a 75rwhp gain. Doable?

I would run meth to try and keep the IATs in check.

So what do you guys think, worth it or not?

I still don't think it's worth it for that price. Maybe if you could get it for $500 but even then I'm not sure it's worth messing around with.

Like I said, it was a great blower for its time. Now that we have all had a taste of what is available from Magna Charger, the MP90 sidemount is not worth it. I am offering 1000.00 trade in value on them when you purchase a Radix 112 or new TVS1900 system. See if you can score it for 500.00, it will be like money in the bank

I'd LOVE to have an MP90!, but in your case I'd at least go with the 112

[QUOTE=moregrip;4367754]and where the hell have you been?

Unfortunately............................I've been here ALL YEAR!!!! But................the down time gave me some time to complete my new 370/TVS1900 project. Runs good, so far, although tuning it with 11:1 comp, and #10 boost is tricky. I'm doing some vac line "re-packaging" for the winter, and hope to have some track times this year. Unless............................................ ...........I end up back in Bangkok, or China, or Africa, or Quatar!

no heat exchanger, 2 generations old, not even for 5 bills would I think of putting one on a V8. Damn they barely propelled a 6 cyl Never understood why they didn't offer them on the V6 firebirds....
