not knocking the Whipple but show me a whippled truck that is running 11's or a few of them even running 12's? I don't see many fast Whippled trucks. Don't get me wrong, I think there's great potential, I just don't see anyone running them to it (their potential). We have half a dozen Magnacharged trucks on this forum, if not more, running in the 11's. I am not sure where you can say the Whipple is the ONLY TRUE positive displacement blower. What about the 671/871? What bout the KB? lol, the Magnuson has PROVEN itself, the others?

That is because they never had a good kit for the silverado it was always for the damn ford's, I think this will change every thing and maybe I will be running 11's if I buy the kit, after all that is my gole!

Go for it. It's cool to be different and I hope it works out for you. Then again it's safe to go with the tried and true, the company that has supported it's customers and many performance enthusiast web-sites.

The maggie isn't a true + displacement blower, they just roll together the whipple actually has a male rotor and a female rotor do the research!

i say go for the whipple. seems like you looking for big power and it would be nice to see a change from the norm. there are plenty of maggie guys on here posting up power numbers. we need some numbers from whipple and you look like the perfect canidate.

Funny, we have made well over 900 hp with the 2300 And it can be driven daily.

So 5500 with a tune, injectors and an EO#. If they have one as of now I would be shocked. Thats 75-110K in itself.

You think you can bolt on ANY blower and just go out and run 11's

The kit is sold with everything your's is and no I don't expect to run 11's, you guys are the one's that told me not to use the tvs 2300 for torque reasons!
