Magnum Powers.....JDM

I know I've been asking you all about different combinations over and over again but please bear with me as I wanna make the right choice the first time around. My new idea is a Magnum Powers blower with stock lower pulley and JDM chip. I like the cost of the MP Blower and the fact that it is real close to the Eaton as far as longevity but is not as easily overspun as an Eaton. My only concerns now are the possibility/likelyhood of blowing up the bottom end. Is this combo well thought out and will it be effective and reliable? Thanks again.

You'll see a bit of a benefit on stock boost levels, but you'll really see a difference when you (if you) turn up the boost. It's a much more efficient system than the stock blower setup.

I went ported. It's factory looking, and responds well to added boost. Plus it cost a HELL of a lot less

porting the eaton will give you performance, but the MP will give you more.

something to think about,
You don't have to buy the ENTIRE MP blower, you can buy it without the rotor packs and use the ones from your Eaton.
all you buy is the case. I know DM was considering just selling the case, I haven't heard a final price or even if they are doing it.
But I'm sure that will drop a few hundred off the price of the MP.
(just a guess)

I think that with your stock set up the MP blower will be great. As was mentioned earlier there is room to up the boost when your ready. I have seen as much as 24 lb of boost out of my MP blower.
