3 grand Magna Charger.. thoughts?

So I was cruisin' ebay and came across this..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...Q5fAccessories

Now I'll admit I'm new to the boost game but here's what I'm workin' with.

I've got a 2006 f150 5.4 Scab that's currently 6" lifted with 35/18 combo. A few months down the road I'll be at 8" with 37/22 though. I will be looking to run 8lbs boost at the most which I believe I'll have to upgrade injectors for? If that's true, then what else in addition?

Is there anything wrong with this SC that anyone see's with some more experienced eyes? How nice are the Magnas? Will this be a good kit for me for the future set up I plan on accomplishing?

Another option of mine would be a ROUSHcharger for about $800 more. Any thoughts on this?

Thanks guys for taking a look,

Will

Either kit would be nice... I think the roush would be easier to upgrade as troyer knows very much about those!

I think thats an awesome deal! Half price and its a full kit usually they will sell kits cheaper if it is a tuner kit but you pretty much got every thing you need.

Alright now after those responses I'm starting to get the feeling that I should pull the trigger. I've been thinking about it lately and wondering if it'd be a good idea but it sounds like a good deal for the money. Hm.

Since it appears that you have a Magna, care to share any info with me? Experiences? Advice? Thoughts? I'm all ears.

Did you buy it yet? I was looking at it as well, for my 2004. Seems like a real good deal. I am just a little gun-shy about whether the rest of the powertrain will hold up to the extra power....the only mod I am running right now is the Edge.
