: Moving from Maggie to N/A

I have a 2002 Z that has had a Maggie on it for the last 4 years. I drive this car hard and was recently told my Maggie is on its last leg. I don't want to go with another Maggie and have been putting some serious thought into naturally aspirated mods like a big cam, heads, etc.

Has anyone moved from a supercharged set up to a N/A and had regrets?

The big difference you're going to see will be a loss in that low end torque that I'm sure you've become used to. Even if you go to a 427 stroker, the torque down low is not as aggressive as a maggie. The Hig RPM horsepower will increase, but you will have to wind out the car to feel it.

Are you turned off of all forms of forced induction? or are you just ready for more than the maggie can provide?

Feel free to give me a call and we can discuss the pro's and con's of some different combinations.
