Maggie is off like a prom dress.....for good?

Well i can guarantee you i'll be 100% honest with you about this. I was driving her hard, really high rpms all day. Engine power reduced light came on went off, came on etc.. StealthV somehow knew if i changed the throttle body that'd go away. I tried it and it did. I was driving it and i could feel hesitation and if i want the warranty to look at it, i can't have a maggie on there. I would say most of my frustration is the hell i went through getting the used maggie with damaged/missing parts. So i had to shell out cash for a new intercooler and thought i needed a new magnavolt but the old was still working, so there are 2. Then i finally get it all installed and drive it for a week, post a noise online, turns out the bearings were bad when i received it. So i had to pull the main blower off, not too difficult, ship it to Cali to find out it's the old design. To update the design and get new jackshaft and bearings was over $800, plus the car had to sit for about 8 days waiting for maggie to return. Then i get it back and the belt is squeaking because magnuson didnt have the two pulleys aligned which is what is being fixed now. I've just gone through a lot of install/uninstall. Then the week it took me to make the gauge pod and install the gauges... I've just spent a crazy amount of time and $$ on the car in the last 3-4 months and ive only owned the car since December.

So im selling basically exactly what i wish i would have bought. A used maggie with the manufactures reassurance that it is 100% updated and in working condition. I am not sure what caused the problems with the car yet. Plan is to get it back to stock this week and see if the issue is still there. Then we can blame it on maggie on not. Either way even if it was her fault David will make sure she is 100% before sending it back to me. The engine shop at the track said naturally aspirated engines are better for the track. Im sure this could be an interesting discussion on here, but i can definitely see their point especially on a shorter track where you're constantly changing RPMs. As for day to day M5 killing on the highway, its great! And when driving normal i actually saw an increase in MPG.

That is true, but there's still the wow factor when you tell people you have a supercharged corvette engine, plus the whine is something that cant be beat. For people not planning on tracking their car often i think the maggie is a great plan. Engine shop at the track said for $6-7,000k i could have my engine bored and stroked to a 403, although most on here say a 408, whats 5 cubic inches? Either way that's the plan. Turn her into a 403(8) stroker and get headers. Like everything else, there are pros and cons to force induction. I really liked it when it was on, i just dont see myself installing my stock stuff, then uninstalling stock to reinstall the maggie. Just too much time and work. I'd rather drop it off at an engine shop for a while and let them screw with it. I appreciate your opinion and also hope this doesnt deter any potential buyers. Just as Chef went from the supercharger to a bigger engine, i too am seeking "the next step up".

I just went to hear my baby today. I've waited for over two months to hear her voice. I was all ready on Saturday to hit the dyno and see what she can do at wot but instead she was hungry and ate the slave cylinder & rubber and the clutch hit the floor and remains there.

Today I just fired her up and holy shiat!...meanwhile the power went off in the shop so the lift can't go back up and then in walks the delivery man with the slave kit in hand...Tonight she'll be ready with a fairly rich tune for these hot as hell summer months so I'll most likely be down around 20 to the wheel for now but whoa!

The sounds shook the building and customers came in around looking for the car - they were looking at all the heavily modded vettes until one said....it's a god damn caddy!:worship:

Chef out...
