edit....and that hp level was at 8-9 psi.

For strip use they should use the Centrifugal and just launch it at 3500+rpm. That way there wont be a low end boost issue

If anyone wants a good read about superchargers in general check the link out in my sig. It's written by people in the know and is quite informative, although it is perhaphs a few years outdated concerning centrifugal setups.

Of course the roota blower gives tremendous off idle tq, but those roots blowers (eaton and magnusson) are typically limited to 500-525rwhp from what i have been reading. There is a reason alot of Cobra guys are ditching the roots (most inefficient blower) to go to prochargers and Kennebells
Well guys, so far opinions differ. There is a $ concern too. I am over budget by a few thousand, but I dont want to put cheap crap into it and have him call me with an issue. I cant fly overseas to take care of it. I am worried about hitting his hp goal and him having issues. I wish he would go turbo instead.
Thanks for all the feedback. Hope this is going to be a go.

Are you sure that chart is showing WHEEL HP? To the best of my knowlege, there is no way the Magnacharger or the whipple can flow enough cfm's to make 600 at the wheels. On my stock 6.0L with 15lbs of boost thru the whipple I only made 416rwhp not sae corrected.
This is probably going to be a never ending thread because there is no 1 answer. I will probably be switching to a Procharger in the future because I know the whipple is maxed.

Either one will work.We just prefer ATI's.

We have dyno'ed quite a few Ford Lightnings and 03-04 Cobra Mustangs. After the first run on my Mustang Chassis Dyno they are down 50 rwhp.

I've been in an 01 Z06 with a Maggie. The power down low is impressive. I always thought if I would mod my Escalade ESV I would go with the Magnacharger or wait for the Kenne Bell. Normal relatively spirited driving never goes above 4000 RPM. Would heat soak become an issue with normal driving? Wouldn't the Maggie be a better choice for a heavy truck where you just want an improved powerband for street driving. Sure at the track you might consider a centrifugal but I gotta believe that a Maggie feels better under 4000 RPM's. Since outright E.T. is not my goal, just better everyday feel I would be inclined to choose the Maggie, my .02.

For your application, from my Knowledge I would DEFINATELY use a Turbonator, You can pick one up for less than $60.00 and can Supercharge anything you have. They claim you can gain 40Hp. Just think if some chicks rolled up next you in a Blown Cobra and asked you what you had under the hood, You could look over at them and Say, "Hey baby I gots a Turbonator, wanna go for a Ride". Then you could do a small rev and listen to the wine of the Turbonator, music to there ears 
Man When I called the hotline they told me that putting a Procharger or Vortech on it would be stupid, they said that the Price/Performance ratio is $5,139.95/155HP = $33.16/HP. It costs $33.16 for every one horsepower it produces. All the Turbonator has to give you to beat the Vortech supercharger in terms of it's price/performance ratio is 3 horsepower. *
Plus you can install the thing in 5 minutes and IT come with a LIFETIME WARRENTY Opposed to prochargers 1-3 year warrenty, Something to think about.

NAW MAN, JK get a D1 and run a Nice intercooler setup and just call it a Day, get it tuned (DYNO TIME) and have fun.

I have been considering adding a forged 402, alky injection, 2.8 pulley w/ 8-rib setup, and the soon to be released 90mm throttle body throat adapter for the Mag. I still don't expect 600 to the wheels.
I also think the 617 HP 364ci LS2 in question is stock or very close to it...
I research Magnuson equipped C5's religiously for the latest power enhancing mods, and have NEVER seen documented proof of a 550+rwhp Mag C5 without the benefit of a shot of nitrous.
I think I'll just bide my time and wait for the Kenne Bell twin screw and set it on a forged 402 with alky and be done with it...
