Maggie And Afm

uh6tdrvr · November 28, 2010

How well will a Magnacharger work with AFM or will it? I suppose it could be disabled in with a Tune but would it work?

Sure it will...The tune (that will be required with a Maggie anyway) can disable it.

However...AFM only comes on at lower RPM's with a low throttle position (very light loads) ...And the Maggie has a bypass valve that keeps you out of boost under the same conditions. Hell...You may not have to disable it.

/just thinking out loud, don't know if they play well together and I've never done an install on an AFM equipped vehicle, so I'm talking out of my ass

It is not ideal, just need to have it tuned out.

Figured that was the answer.

My wife would stab me in the neck with a rabid chihuahua if I bought another maggie right now.

IMO, If you can afford the Maggie and want to do it right, spend the extra $$ and time and replace the AFM lifters with a set of LS7's and do away with AFM by tuning and the heavy complicated AFM lifters that can fail on stock applications. With the LS7's you get a more durable lifter and a much lighter weight lifter compared to the heavy AFM lifters. Might as well throw in a small blower cam while you are in there, along with stronger valvesprings. Your 5.3L #243 or #799 casting heads are allready awesome from the factory in terms of flow to support a modified 5.3L.
