Well, if you decide on a centrificual supercharger, like Novi, ProCharger, Vortex, you'll never know it's there until you mash the go pedal. The units make power between 3500-ish and 6500 rpm. Low speed manners actually a little off, as the engine is using some power to turn it. A roots supercharger, Magna-Charger, makes big power low in the rpm range, then begin to loose efficiency at the top end. Both are good systems. Both offer great drivability on stock engines, along with enough power to satisfy most drivers. I think the centrificuals cost less, considering the Maggies require a new hood. Good luck.

Not too shabby...If I would have had the correct pulley, the Novi 1500 would have spooled faster giving me better low end HP.
Here's the Novi 1200 with the same pulley.

Smooth graph on the 1500 John!
I have a couple of C5 graphs from the same car, that switched from a Maggie to a Paxton, that dispels the myth of Maggies being the "low end king" without even bringing the top end into the discussion. Although both are quality units that will provide tons of fun, some just provide a little more.
Let alone the upgradability, but that's also another discussion.

I saw a thread a couple of weeks ago about a new vendor (cant remember which one) that offered a completely new look on maggie's. From the pics I saw, it was a newly designed maggie that fit under the stock hood and was even offered in solid black! 
I just wish I could find that thread!

Well...I guess checking your oil or changing spark plugs is totally out of the question.
