Default Supercharged 4th Gen with LSX/LS7 engine

Wanting to run a supercharger on the 01 and I'm looking for feedback from people who may have gone this route. Right now I'm considering the Magnuson TVS 2650 or a Whipple 2.9/3.0, so if anyone has done one of these I'd like to hear from you.

Thanks!

I think this will end up being a very short list.
There is quite a bit of modification/fab work required to use a Maggie 2650 or equivalent on a 4th gen F-Body.
The area under the windshield has to be clearanced, the K-Member needs to be spaced down and the accessory drive customized just to name a few.
I wanted to do a Maggie initially myself but after researching what was required I went turbo instead.

This article is with a 2300 which is about an inch shorter than the 2650 and I believe the Whipple is bigger still.

Thanks for posting this information. I really liked the Whipple over a Maggie and I guess a single turbo would be a better WTG, especially if your looking to retain the factory air although it looks like you can retain the A/C with the TVS2300.

The magnuson 2650 over the whipple all day long.
The FSS Copo Camaros are significantly faster since making the switch from the 2.9 whipple to 2.65 magnuson
