Boost Your 2015 Escalade with Magnuson

DSC04401

Could your 2015 Cadillac Escalade use an extra 106 horsepower and 105 lb-ft torque to the wheels?  With Magnuson’s supercharger kit installed, your 5.3-liter direct-injection V8 will realize an increase in both horsepower and torque with little perceptible lag, thanks to Magnuson’s positive displacement, TVS1900 Hybrid-roots supercharger.

This bolt-on supercharger kit can be installed in a single day without any modifications to the hood. (Engine management calibration is required. Please contact STILLEN for more details.) The Internal Bypass Valve mitigates parasitic drag, to enable the engine to maintain factory-like fuel efficiently while cruising or on the highway. This kit includes a liquid-to-air intercooler to maintain intake air temperatures for reliable performance. According to Magnuson, this kit generates 6psi of boost pressure, bumping horsepower output by approximately 106 horsepower and 105 lb-ft torque to the wheels.

While we regularly hold training sessions with our vendors to keep up with their latest product lines and to brush up on their existing product lines, it’s not every day our vendors show up with a red hot Chevy Camaro as their training material. Recently, Magnuson superchargers did just that to introduce us to their new Heartbeat Supercharger.

More Efficiency, More Power

To start out the training, our sales rep reviewed the details of the new Heartbeat supercharger system with us. One key improvement over their previous systems and their competitors’ systems is an improved intercooling system. By utilizing Formula 1 and NASCAR heat exchanger technology to make their cooling system more efficient, they were able to avoid heat soak, bring down the IATs which provides more consistent performance from the new Heartbeat line of superchargers. Here are a few other benefits of this system:

  • Includes a cast aluminum intake manifold
  • Fuel system comes with factory push-lock connectors for an easier installation
  • Kit includes twin dual-pass charge air coolers, coolant circulation pump, heat exchanger and all necessary installation hardware

With all of these upgrades, you’re probably wondering, as we were, “How much power does this system actually make?” Looking at the Magnuson Heartbeat supercharger for 2008-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, you can expect over 900 HP at 10-11 psi with this system. This is more than 25 HP than their previous system and 46 HP more than their competitors’ systems were able to produce in independent testing.

Seeing the Heartbeat Supercharger in Action

After hearing all of this, we were excited to see the Heartbeat supercharger in action. That’s when we were able to get a sneak peak of one of their systems that will be available soon – the Magnuson Heartbeat Supercharger for the Chevy Camaro! This particular system was installed on a new 2014 Chevy Camaro SS 1LE. We couldn’t get specifics, but it is rumored that this kit has been tested to produce 500+ hp to the wheels!

Wrinkle Red Magnuson Corvette Supercharger Install

Magnuson Camaro LS3 Supercharger Installed

The Chevy Camaro SS has been a staple in the STILLEN Performance Shop for a while now and is always welcome for a Camaro LS3 supercharger install. We bolted on a Magnuson Supercharger to the 6.2L V8 motor, but this time with a different look… a Wrinkle Red finish.

You may remember the beautiful Victory Red Camaro SS in the shop back in June, but this Camaro LS3 supercharger install is slightly different, this Magnuson Supercharger has a wrinkle red finish. The wrinkle red Magnuson Supercharger is not as common as the black finished version, in fact, you’ll be hard pressed to find one as we have sold out of this color and is now only available as a special order, but the bright red color gives an aggressive look and style to this black Camaro LS3 engine bay.

Pfadt Suspension Installed

Along with the supercharger, we also bolted on a few Pfadt Suspension pieces. The Chevy Camaro SS Pfadt Rear Arm Package includes Rear Trailing Arms and Rear Tie Rods. These stainless steel arms increase strength while reducing overall weight. This allows the Camaro rear suspension to react quicker while keeping the rear tires in contact with the road for greater traction. The Pfadt Rear Arm Packages includes all required upgraded replacement bushings.

Pfadt Camaro Front and Rear Adjustable Sport Sway Bars

5th Generation Camaros are notorious for under-steer. The Pfadt Sport Sway Bars eliminate that by providing a proper rate of stiffness and balance. This reduces body roll and increases steering response resulting in a better driving experience. Pfadt Sport Sway Bars include greasable graphite-impregnated polyurethane bushings and new mounting brackets for a complete installation.
