Question Whipple or Maggie?

Hello everyone I'm in the market for a new supercharger right now for my LS 350z build. A little history on the car, she had an 383 Ls6 at the moment with cathedral CNC ported heads, t56 trans and she'll be my DD. Horsepower goals 600-700rwhp. I'm looking for a reliable blower with good customer service. I've been looking at a 2.9 whipple or Maggie's Heartbeat 2300. Which way do you all think I should go? Thank you for your time.

Whatever you can afford. And whatever fits better. There is not really a significant advantage from one to another. Either one will get the job done.

Both will do you well for what you want. I would go with the whipple, just because I like the twin screw design. Personal preference, I guess, but both would do very well on your stroker. Your rear tires are going to hate you... Which is ok, because you obviously hate your rear tires if you're putting a positive displacement blower on a stroker motor.

It's just a street car. It seems like. Prolly wont have any kind of suspension under it or capable rear end to make it take advantage of the hp.
It will get sideways and spin and burn the tires good tho.

It already has suspension work done. Coilovers, swing arms, solid rear diff bushing and up graded axle's... Plus I've seen a few of these Z going in the 9s with stock rears. Not to say they will last but it's been done.
