Whipple or Maggie?

[Rocket Man]

It looks like I will be ordering a supercharger in the next couple of months and I am having a hard time deciding between the Whipple and the Magnacharger. Does anyone here have any input on this decision? It seems like in the past, the Maggie was favored but lately it seems to be pretty split. I've heard the sound of the Whipple is awesome, and I really like the idea of being able to tell there's a blower. Other than that, I know the Whipple is also twin screw but I don't know the advantage/ disadvantage of that. What else do I need to be considering? It seems they both are complete kits and the Whipple is more $$$.

I see.

I did Maggie and the install is straight forward. Detailed instructions how to install. I was able to install in my driveway with pretty much all hand tools. I used a drill and a carbide bit when it came to trimming alternator bracket

i have a maggie as well.

really i suppose it all depends on if you want more power for towing, fun & such OR if you are gonna chase HP #'s.

both will do the job of daily driving, towing & burnouts

if you want to chase HP (along w/ supporting mods) - go w/ Whipple



as far as sound, have you watched sumo's vids? you can hear his s/c just fine
i am guessing that is from reducing pulley... as mine is still fairly quiet

Get both

Twin sc's

Justin at BBP said if it was his truck he'd go Whipple. Did you guys do a cam too?

 

[sumo]

No cams on mine. I may do a trans upgrade

What's the price difference?

 

[Rocket Man]

Justin at BBP said a new cam is not needed but it would be beneficial if I want to do one later. The difference in price is about $700 more for the Whipple from what I can tell. @sumo do you have a different pulley on yours that makes it louder? As far as the trans- are you having problems with yours?

 

[Tonyrodz]

If I'm not mistaken, I think sumo has mentioned he has a smaller pulley on his.

 

[gat0r]

^ if i recall properly, sumo's stock was 3.7 & not has a 3.2

Nope I have a 3.2 and pushing about 10 psi. I would like to think that it's louder for mechanical reasons. Faster rotation and higher speeds of the blower.

 

[Rocket Man]

It looks like the Whipple is only about $250 more than the Maggie. @sumo was that the standard pulley size? I see they come in 3 sizes and that is the middle one. Smaller pulley= more boost correct?

What's the total for the complete kit on each one?

 

[Rocket Man]

Since I have the Autocal I get a "no tune needed discount". Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to post prices here on the forum.

 

[Tonyrodz]

Wow! Good luck, I hope you get it. Do they offer an optional intercooler? Think it would help?

 

[Rocket Man]

They both come with intercoolers as part of the system.

Sweet!! Think I should've went with this. Actually would've been cheaper for me!

 

[gat0r]

there are multiple pulley size options for both s/c's
3.4-3.6 is typical standard that i have seen for maggies

unsure on whipples

Cheaper than what?
