Magnum Powers Question

From what ive been reading, the Magnum Powers blower comes with a 2.70 pulley, im guessing it smaller than the eaton stock pulley, isthat correct ?, what would my boost be at with the 2.70 and a 4lb lower ?. I have a stock bottom end so I want to keep it around 14-15 psi, that should be safe right ?.

The Magnum Powers Blower does come with a 2.70 which a Eaton has a 2.93 stock. With a 4lb lower you will see in the ball park of 15.5 psi no headers and 14 with headers. This will be a very safe set up for a stock bottom end. The Magnum comes on much softer like the Eaton but then pulls very hard up top. Not quite like a Kenne Bell but it really has some power in it.

There are a few guys here with the MP and Stock Bottom End maybe they can chime in.

I'm about to do the same thing...that is, put on an MP blower and have a 4lb lower with stock manifolds and a Magnaflow catback.

I've been thinking about either losing the cats (off-road pipe) or doing a high-flow cat setup to decrease the backpressure some and drop the boost. I don't want to do the LT's yet due to cost, but may end up doing them down the road a bit. Hopefully with stock manifolds things will work out OK. I'm putting in a Dynojet Wideband Commander to keep a good eye on A/F and will be getting a good safe tune to keep things in check.

Theres a group buy on NLOC for the Longtubes and hiflow cat/ Midpipes

The dynojet wideband is supposed to be the shizznit. VERY Accurate!

i have a magnum

it was easy to install

the power is there

i had a dyno before and after although conditions were completely diffrent.

before magnum= 40 degrees 6lb lower and race gas 100 octane,on race tune = 385 hp


after magnum= 95 degrees 4lb lower 91 octane street tune
=401 hp

the elevation is over 3000 feet above sea level here so hp #'s are probably lower than you would expect

magnum= nobrainer

i have taken advantage of the group buy

Sweeet. Can't wait to get mine put on.

Do you have stock exhaust manifolds or headers? What kind of boost are you seeing?

I have the MP with a four pound lower and I'm seeing a little more than that.
