New Magnacharger

I just got Ilsa back from her Magnacharger installation. The mech said that it was a difficult installation with a lot of improvisation required.

Although I haven't dyno'd it yet, the horsepower increase feels SIGNIFICANT!

Two issues:

1. The rear pulley is very close to the firewall - but it seems to work fine.

2. As can be seen in the picture, the clearance between the carbon fiber bar and the throttle body is extremely close - hopefully it won't be a problem.

I'd like to converse privately with somebody who has experience with racing a blown 5.3 R like mine. Is anybody willing?

Really? I did mine all by myself and thought the kit was well thought out and the installation instructions pretty clear. Hard to believe that the 6.0 is that much different.
