Do I start my Maggie install today or continue to enjoy the car????

Kind of sounds like a silly question but really it isn't. As some of you know in June my first FIFTY was totaled by a careless truck driver. I bought it back and was going to repair and decided to part and make some money. Pulling off what I could of aftermarket parts I decided to buy the same EXACT car lol. I looked for 2 months. I needed a sunroof and automatic. After giving up I get a random text from a really close friend who is not into cars and it went like this. "Hey bro I found your exact car, my neighbor has it covered in his garage". He sent me a picture and I reply "No sunroof Im cool". He says "bullshit". Sends another picture so I ask if it was an Auto adn he said "Yep". I went there 2 hours later and bought it LOL. So now heres where the question comes in. I have had the car for a few weeks and it has new wheels, exhaust, lowered, ZL1 sideskirts, intake, beat, etc. I love driving the car. It is actually my daily and sees about 70 miles 3 days a week to work unless I switch up. I have a blown C7 and never sold the 14 Maxima I was commuting which is done as well. I can easily jump into one of them cars but damn I dont want the Camaro down. I have a Magnuson kit that I ordered for the last car that I never got around to installing. With a 3 day holiday I have a couple buddies that are down to do the install. I Procharged my C7 in my shop so doing the job is not the issue its waiting for the tune. A couple good guys here sent me some canned tunes so I can limp around and I also ordered an AEM WB and Boost gauge so I can monitor it. What do you all way. Do I just blow this F@CKER today. HAHA I might of just convinced myself. HAHAHAHA

Hell yes...install and send it!

Teddy, you know my answer. Go for it.

teddyca · 08-30-2019, 12:11 PM

LOL I love you guys. I looked at this manual and was like "No thanks". HAHA SO its funny because I have a built 5.3L sitting in my shop. PRC heads, internals, etc. The builder reached out to me yesterday and asked if I wanted to sell it. He did the build 2 years ago. I just sent him a text and said "You put my kit on and you can have it". He is coming over for a beer later to discuss. HAHA

My vote is for install...my ZLE is being dropped off this weekend for a Magnuson 2650 install.

L78toLT1 · 08-30-2019, 06:28 PM

Go for It! I had a blast installing mine. Instructions are excellent, parts fit as good as oem.

arpad_m · 08-30-2019, 10:09 PM

Why wait? Get on it and let the bald eagles fly

Full disclosure, I didn't install mine because I got intimidated by the instructions---they're very good, that isn't the issue, it's my lack of experience. You will be all the more exhilarated when you first floor it after a successful install

Beer, instructions, nachos, beer, beer, beer, beer. What instructions, I seemed to have lost them. Ha

SienarSystems · 09-01-2019, 04:57 PM

My install starts soon...

laynlo15 · 09-01-2019, 05:20 PM

HAHAHA I have a shop about 2 hours away giving me a quote. I to was a bit intimidated by all the details. Remove bumper, crank pulley, pinning crank, dealing with antifreeze and then the electronics. I'm just paying to get it done.
