I have seen more people make threads regarding issues they're having with the maggie than those who have posted about problems with their whipple. As long as you don't use the stock electronics and injectors the whipple is trouble free. I installed mine had it tuned and haven't had a single problem with the blower in about 25-30000 miles I have put on it. I have only changed the oil once and that was all.

I have seen plenty of threads. I am not going to waste my time searching for the old threads but I know they're there.

What was it you begged to differ in your previous post? Also you claim to be making 575hp with just the blower? How much boost are you running? Can I assume your making 575hp at the crank not the wheels correct?

if you want to be limited, and burn through tires go with a radix / whipple , if you ever plan on expanding and making some real power go with a procharger .

If you make the statement be prepared to back it up....otherwise shut it up.

Remember, its the percentage game.......when you have a larger percentage of the market you will have more issues. I guess out of the 30000 plus GM superchargers we have sold the 25 complaints are worth it.

You assume incorrectly. I make 575 at the rear axle on a DynaPack load bearing dyno making ~12lbs. Claim? Well those are only dynomometer numbers and don't prove anything. Look at my track times.

I don't need to shut anything. Clearly the forum shut you up being you were a FORMER maggie vendor for this forum. I understand why your panties may be in a bunch since your a maggie cheerleader.

I can back it up with just telling someone to use the search function if they want to dispute my statement. This isn't a court I don't need to bring examples to prove my case. The facts speak for itself anyways. Just look threw old threads.

Congrats on 30000 blowers sold but are you trying to tell me you have a only had 25 complaints? I highly doubt it.

I think there are probably more lysolm/whipple blowers running around out there whether they are on boats, rebranded and sold for bmws, audis, ect. Why is it I have never seen anyone running a maggie on their BBC boat motors or other than gm and a select few of other cars, but I have seen the whipple unit run on tons of different apps? Must be because your oh so special magnacharger is a better blower...

First of all, Chill.
Secondly it was YOU that made the statement, it is on you to back it up with some sort of evidence. Otherwise it's meaningless dribble.

I don't knock Whipple but honestly I haven't seen one perform at the track as I'd want.

Don't make this a personal issue.
