I Secretly Supercharged My Wife's New Escalade In 2 Days! 640 Horsepower Escalade V!

In this video, I steal my wife's Escalade by totally not lying to her and I install a gigantic Magnuson supercharger in 2 days! I made my own new Cadillac Escalade V! Sit back, grab that popcorn and freezing cold beverage (or hot) and enjoy the show!

I show this and talk about it a lot in the video but this was the nicest and easiest aftermarket supercharger kit I've ever installed. It's so much fun to install and the instructions are top-notch. You don't need to be a skilled mechanic to install this yourself.

Everyone should take a moment to reflect on how much R&D Magnuson went through to design superchargers for so many models. They had to get ahold of every one of those vehicles, build a unit and install it. Then all the detail work like grommets, color photos etc etc. So paying 8K is a drop in the bucket for what you get.

[@LegitStreetCars]

Its such a good deal for the amount of power you gain.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

$8000? Yikes!! Is that really what it costs? I was thinking $4000 tops.

[@based_will]

@@andrewhigdon8346 you can definitely pay 4000 to supercharge a car however you’ll have to figure out all the fitment yourself.

Watch how the Car Wizard does an intake clean, rather than picking away at the build-up. I used his method on my V6 LFX and filling the port with the CRC cleaner then using compressed air to blow out the gunk is easier and the result is just as good. Adding a catch can will stop the carbon building up again.

[@Dukes3677]

It won't stop the build up in a direct inection motor.

[@blackonblack...9244]

@@Dukes3677 It will slow it. But you need a vaccum sealed catch can. Also the type of oil that is less volatile (one that offgasses fewer vapors) can reduce the carbon buildup at its source. The fewer vapors the oil gives off, the better. Savagegeese has a very good video on Direct Injected engines and things to look out for. You should check him out.

For future reference, if you ever have to remove a stock intake again lol I always unbolt the intake cover (the black one that the beauty cover lays on) from the intake and the intake sneaks out from underneath very easily thus making it much easier to disconnect the clips on the back of the plastic cover once the intake is out 👍🏼 I work at a dealer so I found that to be much easier as those clips in the back are nonsense 💀
