Which power adder on my flex fuel 5.3!

If u were to go a route other than a Maggie. As in Turbo, just cause a kit isn't offered now, doesn't mean down the road u won't see em. If u lack the $ now, by the time co.'s develop you'll be ready. Products are constantly coming out. Trick, KBRacing, or Synergy may have somethin in the works for your appl. Don't be discouraged if a turbo is what u truely want. But I can appreciate a bolt on & go Maggie too. That's w/o takin anything away from the turbo gurus.

My vote is turbo. I rarely ever have issues, Most of my issues are not turbo related. The only tinkering most of us do is because were always trying to go faster. Maggie's are popular too. I don't see the T/F kit making as much power as a boosted motor.

well i have heard a ton of good stuff about maggie chargers and it is nice bolt on power. i run a detroit speedworks front mount turbo kit. And i ordered a custom tune from allen at nelson performance and i havent had an problems. And when you want to add more boost on a charged you have to change pullies with a turbo its a boost controller.

First, just realize that it's just a money pit no matter which way you slice it. Repeat that to yourself about 10,000 times so you get it permanently imbedded in your mind. Then decide how fast you really need to go. As has been said many times before, figure on the unexpected. Too much power and **** starts breaking. Figure on double what you think you need to be safe. For a DD that is just quick without alot of hassle it would be hard to beat a Mag. Heads and cam is quick too but with shitty gas mileage (high gas prices will return) and maybe drivability issues with a stockish converter. Blower with exhaust mods and cam or turbo would be really fast if thats what you need to be happy. It all costs money. For a DD do the Mag. HH or TVS preferrably. Welcome to your next addiction!



I vote Maggie!!
