Supercharger ?'s
Since I got JBA Headers for Christmas, my next mod is a supercharger. Can anyone out there help me compare the MagnaCharger and Kenne Bell superchargers? Any info on experiences, differences, advantages or disadvantges with each would be appreciated.

WarEagle,
THERE IS NO COMPARISON. The Magnacharger is a much better engineered system and costs less. The only drawback, depending on how you look at it, is it's a more labor intensive installation. Personally, I enjoy wrenching if it means making more horsepower.
It's the fixing broke stuff I don't like. If you're going with a positive displacement type blower, the Magnacharger is, without a doubt, the one to go with.

Thanks guys you've sold me on Magnacharger. I was leaning that way but was trying to check out all alternatives. Now the hard part, saving the $$$ to buy it!
