Default Supercharger thoughts--which is best?

Any thoughts on the best type of supercharger? Would appreciate any input. Thinking of a Magnacharger. Thanx.

Depends on what you want, there are a lot of good choices out there. I'm not keen on having to change out my hood so one of the criteria for me is whether everything fits under the existing hood or not. I also don't race so a centrifugal supercharger is not for me. ECS is the best choice for me.

ECS is a centrifugal tho......

Your going to find the most common choice by people is A&A or ECS. Prolly for price and ease, along with other benefits.

I've heard the whipples are a tough fit.....lots of fabricating, etc. It has been done tho.

Sorry, I was referring to the TVS (Edlebrock) supercharger. Too much Christmas cheer on my end.

Default Heartbeat?

I'm curious if the Eforce or the Heartbeat supercharger is more effective at doing it's job...?

Best is subjective, it really depends on what you consider important. Maybe give us some feedback on your goals and we can help by adding some input?
