14-15 Silverado Magnacharger, NEP Twins, or Whipple???
I've been contemplating these three and wondering what the better route would be. It'd be going on a stock 2015 with a 6.2 and an eight speed.
I have had a Magnacharger in the past but never on a stock engine. I did install a Heartbeat on a 2015 Camaro at work a few weeks back and wasn't impressed with the power. I'm guessing it was running 6psi but really wasn't
much power for the money invested. The New Era Performance twin turbo kit looks nice but worried about the filters under the truck and how they'd survive in snowy and rainy conditions. I don't know much about the Whipple. Anyone have and opinions or install any of these on a 2014 or newer truck? How much boost will a stock engine hold and be reliable?

I like the Maggie but I agree not impressive with stock boost. The Whipple as stock is a better option imo. I like the twins but its not like its that much more powerful than the Whipple. I worry about inspections also. If you are not keeping it at stock boost and voiding the trucks warranty anyway there is not a bad choice here. Depends on how fast you want to go. 12's,11's or 10's. I think the low mount is not as much trouble as you might imagine. I drove my sts believe it or not in a turd floater more than once with no ill effects.

<p>I think either top mount is a great choice. It really depends what you plan on doing. How much boost and power do you want? At low boost the big whipple may be somewhat lazy. To that end the new DI 6.2 is pretty meaty down low and those evo tec's seem to do pretty well down low even with just modest boost. </p><p> </p><p>At say 8-10 psi you won't beat the power under the curve of a maggie. For more boost I think the whipple will work the best. In a cold weather climate Id stay away from the twins unfortunately. </p>
