Not impressed by the "Hype"
Im not knocking anything on this website I love it I spend a good 20hrs a week on here reading mostly not really posting too much. I read what ppl post and take there suggestions seriously. I see what other ppl have done who are in my situation. I have read ppl getting ~30rwhp with a 90mm tb conversion on a Maggie. ~20rwhp with longtubes. I read that every .1 on the pulley is good for ~10 rwhp (3.4-3.0). (All with a good tune). I have done all of this and cut out the y-pipe and ran duals out the back too. I only gained ~40 rwhp and ~70 rwtq. What am i doing wrong seems a little low? iat low 100's. 12*-14* timing

I have never really researched the 90mm mod much but, I think it's more for people that have maxed out their 112s and looking to sneak some more power.
How much boost are you running now and have you noticed any belt slip? How much boost did you gain dropping pulley sizes?

There is pleaty of people making solid numbers with the maggie.You just got to tweak them alittle but also have realistic goals too.I think people are more happy with the complete package they offer and customer service.

Im not knocking magnacharger I wouldnt have done it anyother way. Im upset about the supporting mods added power? ~7psi to ~11psi ... Ripped 4 ribs off the belt last night waiting on a new one... No slip problems on the dyno but isnt that same as a dead stop lst gear stomp. Does the throttle body work/move when the truck isnt turned on?

Not to start a whole pissing match here, but hearing is one thing, on gaining WHP, but hype is well hype. I would look for solid dyno numbers, before I would jump on certain ideas, mods.. Then if you still feel sketchy ask ???. Picking up that hp on on just a 90mm swap, pulley seems like a decent jump in fly wheel hp. How much is left in your tune??? Seems to me almost 400 whp without a cam swap on a 5.3 isn't to shabby for a 4wd truck.
