I loved going to LACR... too bad it's a giant hole in the ground now.

What kind of times/mph did you net with the maggie?

What about the Linkenfelter kit?

Wholey wallet shock Batman!

The procharger and the mag were both about 5-6000. I didn't think the linkenfelter was that bad considering you get a 3 year warenty.

reasons for going forced induction are obvious, but a good point was made about goin N/A with a motor swap. A strocked motor, making that much HP is available in that price segment.

But in the quest for S/C's.....consider the following factors.

1. Cost
2. Performance/reliability. For performance, area under the curve (usable power) is more important than peak numbers. Any "real" tuner and race car builder will tell you that consistent power is more important than a peak number created during a power spike. Also, how reliable is the unit you're getting? Warranty/No Warranty.
3. Noise... I know it sounds foolish, but unless you're looking for that S/C whine and whistle at all times, it can get annoying. One of the reasons I love my GTO is because the interior is Nirvana compared to my Subie.

In the end, it's your decision. You make it based on input received, facts reviewed, etc.... and what it really all boils down to is that there isn't a bad choice out there (granted it's a reputable system). You're looking at different flavors of power delivery, each adding it's own "twist" (lol) to the driving experience. It's whatever you like. Period.

Thats a real good point, I didn't even think about the S/C whine.
My wife would probably never let me spend that kind of money anyway.
I just liked the 600HP for 9grand.

I also want to make sure that it stays an everyday driver. I drive my car daily and I don't want to loose that bennifit.

Thanks for your info.

I have had a maggie on my 6psd 06' for about a year now(about 4,500mi), I don't have one complaint. My car put down 480rwhp, and 490rwtq. I haven't had it to the track yet but hoping for 11.8-12.0@116-118mph. Stock my car went 12.0@109. The maggie has proved to be totally reliable, it sounds great, and easy to install(about 1 day if you can turn a wrench). By the way my car is completely stock otherwise. I have owned many other cars(nitrous, heads, cam 02' ws6, Infiniti g35, turbo awd 96 talon, street bike, ect.) by far this is the most fun to drive, it will always put a smile on my face.

06 Goat,
Did you have to do any other mods to your car?
Would the extra power put strain on the tranny or rear end?

I'm just trying to get a good idea of how to go with it.
I want the most power I can get but still be an everyday driver.

I don't have any other modifications at all. I have pretty much been beating on the car for about a year now with no problems. The stock clutch is probably about ready to be replaced. It will act a little weird if I am hard on the car too much.

Have you flushed out the hydraulic fluid on the clutch yet? Many have stated better clutch pedal action after replacing the original fluid.
