Magna-Charger for the 5.0 (pics inside)

[GeorgeInNePa]

I am told the 2300 Maggie will be available in Black, Blue, or Chrome.

Trying to get more info now.

Supposed to be finished up and running Monday.

NO, it's not mine...

^^^Yeah thats pretty ugly.

Man their design team must be part of the work placement program for Special Olympics.

 

[Bullitt3478]

Looks like Snuffleupagus.

 

[BAKnBLK2010]

WTF? Thats the most retarded looking supercharger ever.

 

[chad05gt]

WTFdo ya'll do with ya'lls power adders?!?!?

I like it... Calipso Green would be NICE!\
looks perfect for low boost applications on a 11:1 5.0.

As far as fully forged race applications... its got belt slip written alllllllllllllll ova!



Wait, no... please, for the sake of the children... do NOT answer!


Is it going to cost more than the fukn motor, like the Whipple?

Thats just silly.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'll decide after I see it's/their results.

Like I said, it's not mine.

Even if it makes big power, I can't get past the looks.

Actually, I have no idea what you said.

Do you guys think it would look better with a jack shaft drive? Cause there really isn't any room for one...

 

[Liquid]

Tough crowd here. I like it, but final approval will be granted when we see numbers.

 

[VTXFrank]

With that pulley being mounted on the front of the S/C like that, it seems to me that it would put undo force laterally against the bushing?/bearing race? that supports the S/C drive shaft as it goes through the front of the thing. Especially if someone pushes the boost on that sucker. Not only would you get massive belt slip, but it seems like you would really wear out that front shaft pretty quick. I bet it's pretty limited for boost PSI.

Doesn't the 11:1 engine limit the boost-ability?

It's going to take some time to find the engine internal limits, but right now, there are kits out making 9PSI on stock internals. I don't expect to see much more than that without at least upgrading the connecting rods.

The 5.0 was over-built on purpose by Ford engineers with the specific goal of FI in the future. The block and heads are ready for boost, but the connecting rods would need to be upgraded for anything over, I'm guessing here, 10PSI.

 

[Hysteria]

I agree with the everyone above, it's fugly looking.

 

[StangPower05]

Agreed! It looks super retarded.. Never liked the Maggies because of that reason.

 

[Corpsman]

Shoot it in the face please!
