hey everyone.. im thinkin about trading for a side mount magnacharger... how much is one of these worth.. and how much power will you guys think i will be making in my 05 5.3, on 6lbs of boost, longtubes with no cats into an x-pipe and dual flowmasters, intake, 38lb injectors and some small stuff like throttle body bypass, mass air flow sensor, ngk plugs, msd wires, and a wait 4 me tune???
thanks guys!!

 

If you are talking about an M90. I would say one is worth maybe $2000 at about the most and I would guess it's good for about 75 hp. Just going off of what I have read about them though. They don't seem to be nearly as efficient as the twin rotor stuff and heat up the air a lot more. I also wonder if you will be able to get 6 psi out of it with your exhaust set up unless you can pulley it down some. Might also be on the edge of the limits of those injectors. Just my thoughts though I would wait for someone with more knowledge than me about these units.

 

there's some "pretty" pics on HPD of a side mount for vettes

 

I made 320 hp and 350 tq at the wheels on a 5.3 and lt headers and custom tune. A cam and some meth and you may get another 25-30 of each. I sold mine about 3 years ago for 1200.00.

 

and what do you mean "get 6 pounds out of my exhaust set up"?? what should i change??

 

Headers normally cause a drop in boost even though they usuallly increase power.

 

We offer a 1000.00 trade in credit on the old sidemount superchargers.

 

your best bet is to trade it in. from what I hear it's almost impossible to get parts for that old kit!

 

An M90 hardly supports airflow for a SeriesII 3800 let alone a 5.3L-6.0L. Talk about using a coffee cup filling a swimming pool...I should know. I used to have a GTP with the M90 running 12-14psi with a cam and headers, many started to upgrade to MP112 units or turbos...

 

well i was gonna trade my foose 24s for it.. anyone have a better kit that they dont want or need anymore for some badass 24s
