Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal I was wanting to, but being in FLA and starting with a 90-120* ambient isn't going to get me far. I need the dual ATI intercoolers..
Maybe if I lived in Alaska.. or Sweden.. LOL!

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal Here's the LPE/Magnuson Installation Guide.
Includes pics.
Looks like they do re-route the IAT to the blower area!

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal I downloaded the installation instruction for the Magna Kit. I was wonder how much fit trouble is there to go on a F-body. The LS1 does sit alittle lower in the engine bay of a F-body. Maybe need a small bump like the Vettes, but other than that it shouldn't be too much hard to get it on us F-body. What do you other F-body guy think?

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal mellowyellow: Your rationalizing with forced induction. It doesn't play that way there are too many factors. Too many to go into. A lot of us have already rationalized more boost because of whatever reason. And a lot of us have rebuilt their motors too. Well I have at least because I had too with just 8# of boost. But with stock compression ratio so I see what your thinking. But just a word of advice it doesn't quite work out the way you think.
P.S. I'm not an expert but do know some about boost because I've been "FORCED" to learn.

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal I too am wondering if it will fit on an fbody. If it clears the cowel, it shouldn't be a problem with the hood.
Hmmmm.....this winter might be interesting.
Right now its 382 all bore vs. FI.

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal Let me get your guys input here. Where does the LS1 need more power at. I have a H&C car dyno's on two different dyno's on two different days at two different temps. High 430/400 Low 410/396 RWHP/RWTQ. I have a ATI D1 S/C in my garage waiting for me to install. Lets say the ATI @ 5lbs of boost makes a conservative 500/500 RWHP/RWTQ on my H&C car. I guess what I am trying to avoid is excessive wheel spin. If you are building a lot of torque down low (which I know is ideal for drag racing with slicks) such as with a roots type blower. Wouldn't be better to start building the torque a little later once the car is rolling. I already spin my 335's pretty easy.

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal Agree. One of the nice things about the ATI SC is that the power curve is good for traction. I think you'll want 7# to reach your 500/500 goal tho.

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal Mello,
From what I have heard most H&C cars with ATI D1's have been laying down 500-550 RWHP on 5lbs of boost. Have you heard or seen differently. What have been some of the numbers you have seen on H&C cars.
Thanks

Re: Roots vs. Centrifugal The Magnuson takes 1/3 hp when traveling at around 60mph. It has a dump valve that hangs open until mainfold vacumm drops from de-pressing the throttle. Press the throttle, bypass valve shuts, charger starts charging. Or so I have read.
1900, 671, blower, centrifugal, cfm, charger, iat, involute, magnacharger, magnuson, roots, sensors, supercarger, supercharger, tvs
