We will have our Magnuson here for our Z06 next week for testing. We won't be installing until after the mid-September 1/2 mile event, but we will certainly show IAT and power comparisons once we have it on! 
From what we have seen, the intercooler bricks are substantially larger than OEM and should greatly reduce IAT's seen with the stock supercharger, as well as a significant power gain with over 0.5 liters of additional displacement. There are others going the centrifugal route and removing the PD blower, but we want to keep the form and function of the Z06 as it was intended by GM while improving on its performance. Anyone can slap a centrifugal on and make power, but refining OEM packaging with a slightly larger supercharger is a very different ball game.
Stay tuned!

Im curious to see the results you guys come up with. I have logged mine so I already know what it looks like stock. Ill be able to post a comparison of stock vs the 2200r once I get my intake made, finished machining the base plates and throttle body mount for it yesterday so it is onto the sheet metal work!

If it wouldn't rip my entire drivetrain apart, I wouldn't be opposed to switching over to one if it really is as good as promised.
Also wouldn't mind having that cam you used in the shop Z06. This one is too quiet.

I have personally witnessed the power and such of the magnuson on a zl1 camaro, obviously it's not the corvette version but could be very similar. With you wanting great tq down low theta. Maggie may be the way to go. I made 812 rwhp and 910 ft lbs tq at 15 psi.
That 910 ft lbs was at 3100 rpms. This was also on a lsx 427 to tho. Would love to see the results on vengeance car. And maybe you'll get one sean.

Why is it that every time someone asks about an E-force or Magnuson blower, it turns into a "centrifugal vs pd blower" thread? It's pretty annoying to see it... I like both types of blowers and both have their advantages, but I will say, Callaway's blower runs very cool for being a pd blower (yes it has a triple intercooler system, but still very good for a pd blower).

I would like to see some more pics of the Calloway blower. Guessing they have mounted a third IC about the supercharger but would like to see just how big it is. Is the housing their own or do they mod someone else's? Can't hurt to have more cooling, just need to ensure the water isn't flashing to steam in the IC(s).
