Cool Whipple or magnuson supercharger for 08 silverado

Hi, I'm not sure Witch one to buy. I have a 2008 silverado with a 6.6 lt stroker, 224 comp cam, afr 1630 heads. I'm not going to race the truck, I do use it to haul cars interstate occasionally and just cruising. It has a standard 4sp auto, converter, and diff. Dose anyone have an opinion on witch is the better one for me ?

I would do a 4.0l Whipple. Twin Screw= more power / efficiency. A Lysholm blower from Vortech is another good twin screw.

How much power / torque are you after? TVS is smaller than the Whipple so if you are pushing higher power then you will be better off with the bigger whipple.

The tvs will be quieter for him also. From what I have seen the tvs seems to be the better design for his application. But I have no experience with blowers really. I just know if I was towing I would not want a blower screaming in my ear.

hi, im after as much power as possible, but im more interested in torque down low. I've checked out the lysholm & I like that but I don't want anything that is noisy. is the magnuson a tvs. it must mount on top of the engine because when it was converted to RHD the put the a/c pump on the left so there is no room on that side to put a side mounted supercharger.
