Magnuson Question
I'm considering getting the magnuson s/c. My concern is what has been done to the motor already. I have the Patriot 59cc heads and the TSP 231/237 cam, SLP headers. The magnuson is 7lb of boost. Am i going to have a problem or what should I do.

Your cam might be a shade more aggressive than anything I have run with a magnuson, but as long as the LSA isn't less than 112 you should be ok. With the 59cc heads, what is your compression? off the top of my head, I'm thinking you may be at 11.0:1 or so, which is borderline. At worst case, you would have to run a meth injection kit to prevent detonation under boost, but other than that, I don't see a problem with your current setup.

I have a ms4 cam on 111lsa and the car seems pretty damn wicked by the seat of the pants. Im going to get it dynoed the end of the week hopefully so ill see what kind of numbers it puts down. I would say go for it all you would have to do is change the cam down the road. But it will for sure work with your set up now. I also have prc stage1 ls6 heads on the car and long tubes. I was only seeing 5 pounds of boost. I got a 3.2 pulley on the car but i have to pin the crank yet because i only picked up a half pound off that. So belt is slipping or the crank pulley is turning on me under boost.

If you have a high horsepower N/A block, Turbo, or Centri blower that could be an issue. Regardless of what kit it is. But if this was to be an issue I would ask the Mustang Cobra guys who have been running the Eatons, and KB's to see how many they have broken. They run a similar 6 speed as us I think.
