Magnacharger Numbers

What kind of numbers or you magna guys making. The kit for 3g's is a pretty good price so I have been looking at it pretty seriously. I was dead set on a procharger but it is going to cost me about $ 1,500 extra to get the kit I want from them. If I got the blower ported, proper tune, and smaller pulley what do you think that would put me at? I already have headers and full bolt ons so I am just trying to weigh out all my options at this point. I'm looking to be over 420hp at the wheels. How do yall like the kit overall?

I got pretty close a few weeks ago at Troyer, with the belt not slipping I think around 388 or so, but all I had other than the magnacharger and the smaller 2.8 inch pulley was duel flow master super 40's, with some jacked up pipe bends, (dude crushed the hell out of em, but thats another story). I am thinking once I get the blower blue printed and ported and the headers, high flow cats, and the borla racing muffler, and belt slip addressed I might be around that. Will find out in a few weeks when I get everything installed. Overall after I had the pinging issue resolved (bad tune from Magnuson vendor), I am pretty happy with it.

I personally think 380 is plenty of street power. Unless you want a fully moded engine to drag in.

I just got a ported and blue printed m90 case for 100 bucks on ebay came off a custom lambo dual m90 setup pretty awesome the guy told me it was running 800 hourse. Just gotta wait for my next rebuild to see any numbers for the F150.

I made 320hp and 380 tq with a Procharger at 12 psi and it feels like a monster. this was in Ogden utah at 4500ft. elevation, but it runs hard. 420 is alot of power, and I also think power #'s fall out of mouths alot easier than actually turning a roller, jmho.

How much would it cost for a shop to install a supercharger?
