Personally, i hate the look of the maggie, it looks so out of place IMO. plus to upgrade it with a 90MM snout would cost another couple hundred bucks.

still for half the price, i can make something "I can take credit for". Which is a huge deal to me. Anyone can buy a kit or pay a shop. I am not that way, i like showing my skills by creating and such. THis idea may be lost on some of you, but i bet a few of you guys can relate... you want something all your own, that you built... A one of a kind.

I understand what you are saying completely. I had a 450hp V6 Firebird.. The only thing is its not like your putting a supercharger on a Mustang were everyone has one. Its a CTS-V which in its self is pretty rare to see yet alone it having any kind of supercharger on it. Its a top of the line Caddy.

I had a buddy Stefan back in the day that had a 98 V6 Firebird. 12secondV6 knows him as well. He put a Procharger on his car in 2000. It was a LT1 Kit that he made work on his 3.8. The car was very original but never stayed running for very long due to issues with the custom install. We had to send the blower in 2 times to get it rebuilt, The belt was always slipping, and it was just a PITA to get it to run good with it. He was one of the 1st if not the 1st that put a LT1 supercharger kit on his V6. Overall he spent way to much money on his setup were he could have just bought a LS1 motor. I think he was dissapointed in it towards the end.
