Try asking this in the C5 Forced Induction/Nitrous area. But most prefer the Magnuson.

I likes Kenne Bell's twin screw style supercharger (Autorotor or Whipple), better than roots and centrifugal combined

How about a Twin Turbo ? Does anyone favor it? Doesn't it mount low, behind engine ... w/o need of hood alterations like Magnuson would require.

Many people favor Turbos over Blowers. They cost more so it's not always a fair comparison. If you're looking for turbos I would lean towards TTi or LPE.

I'd seriously consider a KB twin-screw when the kit is finally done... all the torque of a roots w/o the extremem heat and inefficiency.

'03 Cobras w/ a KB conversion (to repace the eaton roots blower) make over 600 rwhp!

The procharger provides more boost and hp than any other stock cube application out there. there are many other on the market but none that make a kit to fit the c5

The Magnuson's flat torque curve fits my needs. My current 465rwhp/456 ftlbs is not as high as the centrifical set-ups, but its enough to make 1st gear a challenge to use and 2nd gear & 3rd gear incredible.
