Great looking hood. They just look mean.

A comment for you though: the base of the windscreen is a high pressure area because of all the air that collects there from the transition between the relatively flat hood and the angled windscreen. Early C3 BBs used this to direct pressurised air to the air cleaner at speed. It will be unlikely that air will exit the engine bay from this area. It is likely to add even more air to the engine bay which is OK for cooling provided it has other areas to exit.

Very pretty.  Although I would imagine for you guys that having it every year, it becomes a pain.

It gives people an excuse to put their car on stands and undertake major modification projects. :v

Maybe I'll move... ;41

You bet jo, the "Maggie" SC and Lingenfelter magic make for a beast of a Corvette! I originally planned on just having them put a Maggie on my stock 2007 C6, but later decided to go with the 427 NA package and forged motor and upgraded trans, & diff.  A little further down the line, I'll probably put a Maggie on top of my forged 427, then I should have quite a car. Maybe then I won't have to worry too much about scattering parts down the straights....:ado

Here's a couple of short Video's of Maggied C6's...;eek

Did some one say the word supercharger? ;46


Bugattis, superchargers, high powered machines, throbbing V8's and top music.  I think I'm feeling a little frisky. ;)

It is, and at the risk of going off track I think you've gone the better way with the 427 - more power without the issues that go with forced induction like heat and packaging factors.

Not that I'd object to a supercharged 427...

My friend with the maggied 99 C5 doesn't hold back from giving that some stick - and he says his 07 Z06 is almost too fast and doesn't need modding.  Not a direct comparison with an LS2 but I think the conclusions would be similar. ;42

YES! The 427 CID package uses a Z06 LS7 Block. The Heads are your LS2 Heads which are CNC ported and polished to match the LS7 Block. The LS7 Block is a small block.  The Maggie fits on just fine. Should put you above 700 flywheel HP....;eek....(Also may be done as a Twin Turbo)...;eek

LPE Z06 LS7 Block

:v:v:v

I've been wondering if that could be done for some time...

That would have to be my dream setup. :spook

As I'm sure you know, LPE does a twin turbo for the LS7 which they rate at 800hp.

I'd be happy with the maggy - I don't ask for much.
