C6 Johnny,

Both of those are superchargers.

Do a search and review the dyno graphs for yourself.

Don't forget to look at the A&A Ls3 and the ECS Ls3 kit. The two best out there IMO.

Johnny,
Do yourself a VERY big favor and call Chris or Doug at ECS... www.eastcoastsupercharging.com they have the best kit on the market hands down. They sell and install every type of F.I. from Centri, TT, Maggie, etc... These guys will give you the info needed to make the RIGHT choice for you... ECS' ph# (609) 752-0321

They also have install locations all over the country, not just the east coast...

I only have the ATI kit because it was the only option in '05... I WISH ECS had a kit out back then... Trust me on this one... call 'em

The Magnuson is a positive displacement supercharger. It makes max boost throughout the rpm range. So if it's tuned for 6psi, you get 6psi from 1500rpm to 7000rpm.

That said, the maggie will run out of air sooner than the procharger. While it will be MUCH more powerful in the lower rpm range, it won't get the big numbers at the top of the RPM range that a centrifugal will.

It's all in what you want. Try to figure out what your goals are for the car.

But like most here have said already, the A&A Vortech and ECS paxton kits are historically much better quality centrifugal kits.
