Magnacharger I am planning a Magnacharger with intercooler on an LS6 in a 63 coupe with a T56.
Has anyone used the Magnacharger with intercooler? What problems did you encounter? Did you change the cam? What other modifications did you need to complete for best performance?

Oh yeah! 
The main problem with the intercooled Magnacharger is getting traction!!
The kit is very complete and well thought out, you shouldn't have any real problems installing it. The tuning that comes with the kit is pretty weak; lots more power to be had if you want it.
The only changes to my engine are cam, springs, and retainers, and I have a 3000 Yank stall for the 4L60E. Stock heads, valves, and even stock exhaust manifolds!
How about almost 11 flat at 126 MPH. This was WAY over running the injectors. I've added bigger injectors and as soon as I get the tune dialed in I think 10's are a sure thing!!
It's not a huge blower so don't go with it if you're just after big dyno numbers like some of these FI guys, but if you take advantage of the "power under the curve" it can be an incredible performer!
