I haven't been east of Indiana for 18 years (besides Florida), so I might as well make the most of it.

What I don't understand
is why is the Magnum already being considered a waste of money?? Yeah, posts like.....oh you saved me money.........or comparing cost of magnum vs ported eaton.
What I see is 1 guy is having trouble making numbers with the blower here. The reason has yet to be determined but what Charles is saying makes sense.
Alot of guys who made the mistake of buying a Magnum, when looking for numbers of what comes out of a KB had written the Magnum off.......even though it's not an apples to apples comparison.
I've seen dynos first hand of ported eaton vs magnum dyno sheets back to back on the same truck.
What i saw is similar to what Sal and Rob came up with. In the 4000k and up range the magnum kept pullings. The only difference is I never saw the drop off in the lower rpm.
Is there any way to take that Magnum that was on Robs truck and put it on another truck that is running a ported eaton and see what the difference was. Wouldn't that give you an idea if it's the blower or the motor???
I hope everything works out.
By the way.......I'm running a Wasp port!!!
