if you already have heads and cam you will probably need some forged internals not long after the charger goes on. also if you raised your compression you may not be able to make as much boost as you would without the comp bump. the cam would probably be optimized for N/A. not to say it wouldn't work but for the best results you may want to change a couple things in your setup. as for the charger itself, it is a twin screw supercharger so it is very efficient and makes boost from idl to redline. now, i dont personnaly know anyone running the magnacharger but i haven't heard any bad things about it. maybe you should call one of our sponsors and tell them what you're looking for. im sure they could help you out better than i could 
As noted you won't be able to run to much boost if you raised your compression with the heads. It's better to keep that at the stock level or even a little lower depending on how much boost you would like to run. The non-intercooled system makes about 5.5# of boost on a stock motor and the new intercooled system will produce 7# of boost. We also have smaller pulleys available if you want more Upgrading the bottom end is recommended if your going to run alot of boost.

Verdad Gallardo Do you buy chance know the measurement from the front of the fuel rail to the back of the charger, also what is the height (more then stock intake) at the rear belt, it looks shorter then the charger body? What is the total height from the bottom of intake to the top of charger in the back ?
thanks
I just saw on the corevette forum that you mention that the ic version may be shorter
How much shorter.
thanks again
