Default Magnuson S/c And Roots Type Blowers

What is everyones opinion of the Magnuson S/C? I have been into turbos forever...and last weekend i saw a vette with a Magnuson S/C and im in love.

I couldnt tell from their site if the vette application worked on f-bodys?

Does anyone else make a bolt-on roots style S/C kit for the f-body?

roots style superchargers won't work unless you are willing to the cut the cowl for clearance...

Are we talking about the hood or the area where the windshield wipers are?
Is it due to how far back the motor sits? And how much cutting are we talking...does it interfere with any of the other daily driver ammenities.

the hood, or you can buy an aftermarket cowlish hood and it will clear. its about 1/4 of an inch too tall for the stock hood.

wipers...due to motor sitting far back in engine bay...there was a post somewhere...psj (moderator) was doing a test on it...i'm pretty sure there quite a bit of cutting and not really a lot of power...like 500-550 max...i'll see if i can find it
