LQ4 or LQ9 for a Magnacharger mp112?
So I just bout a mp112 kit...
"mp112 kit. This kit is complete, it includes: blower, 42lb injectors, 90mm throttle body, magnavolt, intercooler, custom made resivour, kmember spacers, valley cover, coolant crossover pipe, etc. ..."
I was planning to buy an LQ4 for it (this is all going in my 1998 Z28) but friends were saying a positive displacement blower likes a little more compression and I'd be better off with an LQ9... Any input?
Money is tight so LS2 is not an option. I'm looking at LQ's for under $1500 that are low mile that I can just throw the blower on and drop in.
Most I would do is change the cam. Any thoughts on which motor, from the factory heads and all, is best for this set up? Thanks!

mark, hey this is josh... i think its going to depend on the amount of boost (and horsepower) you want.
I have enough spare parts to build you a LQ motor if youre interested..
if not, I would go with the LQ9 if you can find one... they are a little harder to come by

Lq4 alot more common and cheeper.easier to come by than s lq9
Pull the heads,mill them .010, ls9 gaskets, ls9 cam. Since stock truck balancer gotta come off lq4 anyway. Ls6 springs or better.

oh and btw Mark, i would ditch the maganvolt and buy a KB bustapump or do a dual intank pump set up, mario can you help you on this
i have read where the magnavolt fails and there goes your motor
and yes Mark, as i told you, lq9 would be the best bet albeit harder to come by
edit:
Another magnavolt dead...
also if you are not banned from ls1gto lol i would ask there since a maggie is more popular with the goat guys

If you plan on running 10lbs or less I would say LQ9, and as far as the M112 goes anything over 12#'s and your really just heat soaking the motor and running out of blower to do any good. I'd go for a cam that has a nice exhaust split and a wide lsa as positive displacement blowers like and since it's a 6.0 you can get away with a little more duration than a 5.7 per say.

Anyways, yeah, I just like the look and instant power of the maggie and its simplicity. 550 is all I am really going for but f@ck it 600hp would be nice...
Oh, I have 1 7/8" SS Kooks and TRUE dual 3" exhaust...

I know it is a lame question but I've been running my F13 (Futral 230/232 on a 112+2) for years now and will miss the **** out of that sound of it loping through the true duals...
Thanks everyone!

I was planning on like 6#'s... Are there any power making, street friendly blower cams that still leave the car sounding cam'd?

I have a stock LQ block, crank, and rods. depending on how much you want to spend, you could pick up a set of forged pistons, ARP rod bolts, and slap a set of truck heads on it. that way it would be stout enough for more boost! youd spend more than your budget but it would be a lot more reliable having new bearings, rings, gaskets, etc.
or you could do all stock parts and new bearings, rings, gaskets and a light hone to seat the new rings... but if youre going through all that work, you might as well do some upgrades!!

Get a LQ4 and throw a set of used LS2 pistons in it. BAM, cheapo LQ9
A M112 is not a positive displacement blower. Its a standard roots. Your friends are thinking twin screw. That being said, truck guys are having good results from slightly higher compression under a roots. The cam is what will make or break your setup
but friends were saying a positive displacement blower likes a little more compression
