Aaaaaaaaand the first Supercharged GXP is...

[GTPprix]

More than likely mine ;)

Project may start as soon as tomorrow, only have 140 miles on it so I'd like to get it a bit more broken in first.

HUGE thanks to Dan, Andy,Rick and the rest of the crew at Livernois for all thier help/input and of course helping me figure out how to shoehorn the kit into my Cobalt.. Anyone thats seen the boxes these ship in will know what I mean ;)

Look for a baseline dyno and more info as the week progresses but this should be fun!

Guess my license plate will mean something again on this car muahahah

Cool Chris! You might be able to read my license plate now. :devil:

[Devilish34]

If you need help breaking it in before and after I am available

[PerfectD3]

So does it come with baseline tune or do you still have to bring it in to a tuner?

[GRRRR8]

LOL! Chris be nice.

Hey now dont make me put a cam in while i'm in there LOL

I *think* the normal magnuson kits either come with a Cortex or you have to ship your ECM in. I'll be tuning this one since there is no tune for a GXP with this kit (yet)


LOL! Chris be nice.

If you say so :)

[MANOFSTEEL69]

Cool Chris! Congrats!

Quiet! You already got me in enough trouble :D

"Honey I'm gonna be late getting home"

"Why?"

"Uhh... work late"...

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ON YOUR PASSENGER SEAT?!?!"

"Uhhh yeah about that, this poor supercharger was hitchiking home from Dearborn, I just had to give it a ride"

[R.Penguin]

[Andy@Livernois]

There are break in periods on cars? :nah: I say put it on and put the spurs to her!

Hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe....... would really like the rings to be good and set for a blower though LOL

[steined]

Nice!!! I think you'll enjoy it! I sure enjoy mine! (Even if not a GXP)

[BlownG8GT]

First TVS 2300 supercharged GXP is on the left coast Chris..... ;)

[Blackrider]

I hope you secure it Chris, because you might come home one day and have an LS3 manifold sitting where the supercharger used to be. :devil:

[-Ray-]

Before I didn't like Chris, now I hate him. ;)

[GTPprix]

This is a 1900 LOL and if someone has one why didnt anyone there know about it when we were calling looking for info LOL :D

Seriously though 1900 should be enough for an LS3 with long tubes and exhaust right? :D

[GTPprix]

I hope you secure it Chris, because you might come home one day and have an LS3 manifold sitting where the supercharger used to be. :devil:

LOL Yeah my manifold ;)


Before I didn't like Chris, now I hate him. ;)

I love you too Ray :D

[GM_Fan]

[VegasNate]

Does that kit come with 60lb injectors?

[confused2much]

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ON YOUR PASSENGER SEAT?!?!"

"Uhhh yeah about that, this poor supercharger was hitchiking home from Dearborn, I just had to give it a ride"

ROFLMAO....did that work? Cause if it did I have to try that with my wife!

[Livernois Motorsports]

Congrats Chris, can't wait to see what kind of numbers it lays down!!


Does that kit come with 60lb injectors?

We includes injectors with all of the Maggie kits we stock.

[GTPprix]

Yuppers, as Rick said they order all thier kits with them, I'm happy they do!


ROFLMAO....did that work? Cause if it did I have to try that with my wife!

I heard someone is pretty amazed by this new TVS blower on their GXP :devil:

[GTPprix]

This is true ;) I'm going to have to do a big write up for various boards but the cliff notes for the most part should suffice here:

So far this thing ROCKS!!! I dont have accurate boost numbers yet (more on that later) but first gear is useless and so is most of second and this is all on a VERY basic tune. I'm showing MAF readings OVER 65-67lbs at WOT and IATs that BARELY move, I'm talking like 30ish degrees over ambient!

I did an 80-135MPH run on a closed course yesterday and it was like a freaking freight train! The IAT's didnt budge above 100 during this run, the only time I got them over 110 ish was messing around a little bit in stop and go traffic but they dropped very quickly.

So far on fuel I seem to be ok but I believe there are other reasons for that (more on this later) but I'm pretty sure I'm way out of exhaust :\ My exhaust no longer makes noise at WOT it just whooshes LOL

I'll get a full write up going theres alot more fun stuff to the story but I'll explain all of that after the dyno hopefully later this week :)

BTW any of you with a Maggie and HPT let me know how many lbs/min you are flowing up top, I have a feeling my car is nuts.

[Livernois Motorsports]

When we going to make some closed course videos??? I wanna go for a ride :devil:

Very nice results so far!

I get 52lbs on the ultra restrictive stock GT exhaust with a 3.2 pulley, but I have issues so who knows.
