magnacharger has anyone had any experience with a magnacharger on an f-body,,,,i'm a real big fan of roots style blowers and i have a fully forged bottom end i just wanna know if any one has tried this and did they get good results?
I know of at least one other person before this came up. How did you miss this?

If you want to see performance just look at the Vettes running them. Although Eaton's make a great noise and lots of low end grunt they are very limited on potential, even more so on large displacement motors like the stock 346ci.
If you really want a PD blower I'd look into modifiying a twin screw unit, much better power potential without loosing the low end torque. Centrfugal blowers will make the most PEAK HP, but as they are rpm dependant the don't make boost until higher rpm's so low end grunt is not their area.
Turbo's can make ***** loads of torque, espcially in the mid to high rpm's. Off idle the PD blowers still have the advantage, but for outright pace and HP you won't beat a turbo. Of course there are other issues with turbos such as lag and spool times.
