They could also benefit from a larger intercooler because the one it comes with is really small, but it was designed to just slide in with no mods/cutting needed. Several owners have made comments about heatsoak issues due to the size of the intercooler. BUT, if you're only looking for fun moderate power, the Maggie will get it done. I think the Maggie is a solid alternative for someone wanting a PD blower but cant drop $7k on a Roush setup. The upside of the Roush setup is that it's a proven blower with easy support (to where the Maggie has almost none outside of the Vette community) The Roush also has proven reliability by Ford. I've put a lot of time into researching all the blowers available for these cars. I talked to Travis who is the owner of SVTP who has a Maggie on his GT. He's been helping Magnuson develop a CAI for the the blower, but it's been very slow going. They've been working on that thing for over a year now. Travis made a frankenstein CAI for it out of spare parts and it picked up some really good power showing the stock intake really chokes the blower.

Steve, this isn't 100% correct which is why I posted some info about the Roush stage 1 kit. To say that Maggie struggles to make decent power is bullshit. Sure if you take the stage 2 or 3 kits with CAI's and pullies on them they make more power, but it would be no different than if you do a CAI and pulley on the Maggie. Also to say that Maggie is unproven except with Corvette is inaccurate as well, especially since Magnuson has been around way longer that most others out there. The only reason they are not known on Mustangs as much is because of how popular the Kenny Bell's and Whipples are from the Termi days. I hope you know that when you look at the kits on the online stores that those are not RWHP numbers. For example, my Maggie kit is making around 600 crank which is about the same as the Roush 575 Kit.
