In your opinion is it worth getting a MP over a ported eaton if you are not planning on running more then say 14# of boost? At the same boost level will the MP outperform a ported eaton?
id say yes based on discharge temps alone

I need a MP bracket as well

My MP was seeing 17-17.5#'s w/ new 67" Gates belt and now only 15.5-16 tops after glazing after only 2000k miles!!!!

Charles, hook a brotha up!!!

My MP/SB made 463/530 on JDM street tune!!!

From going to a Magnum from an Apten ported Eaton, I picked up 24 hp and equal amount of torque. Everything was the same, so it has to be attributed to less heat.

It is my understanding this silver L they have is for people, anybody that wishes, to test drive and see if they like the MP...

Go ahead and head on down they will have it warmed up and ready to go before you get there...
Only for people from NH that drive Sonic Blue Lightning's

Don't poor Rob Me
(since 2003 I've had better ET, you talk a lot of schitt for a LOSER)

PLUS EVERYONE KNOWS BLACK IS THE FASTEST



Bottom Line

Eaton works ok up to 12,000 RPM
Magnum Powers kicks *** up to 24,000 RPM

Eaton flattens out and becomes a "Heaton" at hi boost hi rpm
Magnum makes more and more power with high Boost & RPM
(at about 1/2 the temp)

As far as I'm concerned, we have 2 choices, a KB and a Magnum,

Due on reliability along, THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE

Due to price along, THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE

Due to facts, THERE IS ONLY ONE CHOICE
(You can boost them into the 10's, and run easy 11's @ average boost)

My Goal is 480- 500 HP off Spray, I already know thats cake...

BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL

I made my choice

We have the Idler Brackets in stock ready to go so give me a call 8UR LS1 and I'll set you up.

What do you guys think of Rob's BLACK blower? Rob going off and painting his blower black got me thinking perhaps I should offer these in powder coat instead of the bright aluminum. One of the advantages of having complete control over the manufacturing process is some semi-custom things can be done. The bright aluminum finish is chromated so it will not oxidize, its a good quality finish but perhaps you guys would like the blowers in colors or polished. Any suggestions or feedback?

Coating options to match the available truck colors would be awesome!

Can someone photoshop a True Blue MP?

I've seen several color matched blowers and they really make a statement.

Mine is powder coated black aswell, but i do belive it retains more heat than it did before.

Ok, I'll try not too.

Are your talking about that 11.81 slip you hang your hat on? Sure........
You ran it one time, and wouldn't/couldn't back it up
that day...............

You jump it up with a 25hp jet, and couldn't come close to running that number............

Then you switched to a better and more "professional" nitrous setup, and couldn't match the time...............

But, Everytime we race side by side, you loose, and I get the win light, but your the winner

Now you say," I want 480hp off spray", where before you said, " I want 400hp off spray"

Your ****ting your pants , Right? Or your stoned, or both!

And you know what Rob? Both you and I know, after I whip your *** at the track, you'll come on here, and post how you kicked ***

BTW......Blower looks SWEET!!!!!
It will look nice in the LOSER CIRCLE

What other mods were done at the time of that pull?
I had stock fuel system, MP blower with 4lb lower. Port & polished heads with 1MM over sized valves. I also had a built lower end but that dosen't add power.
A Monster box tranny with 2600 stall converter.

Rob, that is NOT entirely TRUE!

now I'm a fan of the MP blower, A BIG fan.

However a ported eaton extends the usage of the eaton. It utilizes MORE of the intercooler (by widening the port and adding another port). Thereby increasing the Eaton's efficiency.

So you can Spin the eaton well past 12,000.
