: TIP - Haddad Motorsports
smokinvette 03-28-2007, 11:57 AM Today we dropped off our '05 Silver Vette at Haddad Motorsports for the Magnuson Supercharger to be installed and a few other parts. Haddad Motorsports was referred to us from Tony over at Air Flow Research.
I would like to say that over the years I have came across many good mechanics and many bad ones who did more harm than good. Haddad Motorsports is a true Performance Shop... Mike Haddad spent nearly 2 hours this morning answering many questions in great detail that my brother and I had.
With that said if your in Southern California and are requiring normal maintenance or aftermarket modifications done to your Vette give Mike a call to schedule a time to get in there.

waverunner 03-28-2007, 01:54 PM Will you be posting some dyno sheets after all is done? Love the front end of your car. Would like to see what your Vette is pushing for HP! Good speed shops are hard to come by!
vettegirl2007 03-28-2007, 02:01 PM Thanks for the tip :D to bad the shop is 1000 or so miles from me (I'm in Utah) :( I agree good mechanics are hard to come across... a friend of mine just had a crummy experience with a shop here locally, there were oil hand prints all on her console in her car, steering wheel, around the hood! She was not happy that says alot about the work?!?

:eek: Did they at least clean the mess up?
punisher 04-02-2007, 09:07 AM Now we are talking! With that blower hood I assumed you had something under the hood already! Waiting to see results... actually you are in OC right? Heck, your close enough that I may see you at one of the local meets!
smokinvette 04-02-2007, 09:28 AM Ok folks after a great weekend over at Haddad Motorsports we have our first Dyno completed after the Magnuson Charger installation. Please go to our Vette Gallery to view the video file from the dyno.

:eek: That is AWSOME!!! LOL... it will be interesting to see what those other parts to the dyno numbers!
nyvette 04-02-2007, 11:54 AM I'm jealous with those numbers! Your adding all those other items, what are your goals HP wise with this car?
Z06crave 04-02-2007, 12:21 PM Great numbers! I was just looking at your video and photos from the install, everything looks great!

dads06 04-02-2007, 01:16 PM I'm a new Vette owner after many years of wanting one. I have to say since owning this car and reading what others are doing. I get motivated reading stuff like this! Your car looks great and those numbers are fantastic!
BTW... How in the world do you drive that car? Its so low to the ground?! I was just watching the video you have posted and that nose is soooo close to the ground!
dads06 04-02-2007, 01:18 PM Oh my goodness! First time I watched your video, I didn't have the sound on and I just watched it again with the sound.
THAT CAR IS A MONSTER! :D
vettegirl2007 04-02-2007, 01:47 PM You must be turning heads with the car! Mine is! ;)

Those are some nice numbers. I would like to see what that meth/water system will do on the dyno. You'll need to retune after installing that correct? I've seen a few cars tuned - thats beyond me how they do that!
conmax 04-10-2008, 03:21 PM Let us know once you get the meth installed. I would like to see some pictures of where they mount the pump from Snow. I have not decided on the best place to mount mine and the guys from Snow did not know either. Also, you might ask your installer if they think having the IAT after the Meth is best.
Best of luck with the install. Hope that the Meth allows a more aggessive tune and more power if that is your goal.

We installed the pump on the driver side, right on the upper side of the frame, right below the steering assembly. The photos didn't turn out very good because of lighting. What I can say is its a job to get the screws/bolts into the frame. We have 2 out of 4 bolts installed and holding down the pump. Hope this helps.
