I'm looking to get a supercharger in my gagt and was wondering if there was anyone close to the kalamazoo area that had one and chould possibly take me for a ride sometime so as i could see what it was like. Hit me up if there are, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kalamazoo is actually about 3 hours away from here. If you want to check my car out, I'll be on that side of the state on Saturday April 17th for a track day at Gingerman raceway. It's about an hour west of there. I'm leaving here friday night and stopping in K-zoo for the night, then going to the track in the morning. You should come check it out, it's a lot of fun.


Aaron...so they did discontinue the Eaton kit like you have??? And RSM is the only other place offering a S/C i think?? And they wont sell you one unless they install it i hear......... damm!!!

Gingerman? Where's that? Is it a dragway? I thought Martin was the only one in that area.

I don't know where you heard about the RSM SC install, but they will sell it to anyone who orders it. You can install it yourself if you want, or have your own shop do the work.



Gingerman is a road racing track in south haven, about an hour west of kalamazoo. Really nice track. Couple of short straights and lots of corners. Couple of dual apex and decreasing radius turns as well. It's a course that really teachs you how to drive your car fast because you have to pick a good racing line and keep your speed up in the corners to get good lap times there.


Well i've been living in the engagement cave..... I couldnt remember when they stopped selling it was all, or if anyone still had any leftovers for sale. I dont know how many people have the magnacharger kit i can only think of about 5 from this board of the top of my head, so how many did they make? Seems like they would have some stock left over. As far as RSM i read in a thread here almost a year ago that they wont sell it unless you come up there and they install it, must have been rumors like most other things around here

There were between 10 and 14 SC kits constructed by Magnuson Products. I was the first one to have the the SC kit on this board. Spaz was second, but he installed his SC before me.

There may be 2 or 3 other SC kits around owned by people that are not on this site. N4SPDIII, also has an SC kit. That is 10 owners on this site. Pontiac has the MP62 Gen 3 SC's and the kits have the MP62 Gen 4 SC's.
