If E85 were more readily available I'd be running it now. The closest station to me is a 15 minute drive in the wrong direction. Easy 50 hp from where I am currently though.

I like my Maggie TVS, its been great so far and you don't have to cut anything like you do with the Roush TVS.

Maggie's seem to be great blowers as long as you're okay with moderate blower power. They are a good deal for the money.

I don't know about moderate, SVTP's testing boosted the car another 200whp almost the same on the torque band with stock pulley. Granted that was with a custom CAI, Maggie is still working on the production version that should be out soon. It ends up being no different than any other TVS, except the install is much nicer on the Maggie and it is 100% bolt on vs others that require cutting. Obviously not everyone's choice is a TVS, but a 200+ gain on a stock pulley isn't that bad.

It's not bad at all, I'm not hating on it.

No worries, in truth boost is boost and there are a lot of kits that do well for the different types of needs people have.

Hell, Dave has gone far enough beyond what they expect people to do with a D1 that when they couldn't figure out the MAF issue, they called Procharger to ask what to do - their reply - "i dunno". lol. Dave had to figure it out for them! lol.

It wasn't just the head unit. It was the whole kit.

Same thing happened to Donnie (blownaltered). He bought the F1A, enjoyed it for about a month until he got tired of driving around a car that sounded like a harrier jet plane! lmao. Fuck it was LOUD.
