Wow those are great numbers! How does a dynapack dyno compare to mustang numbers? I am pretty sure a dynapack reads a lot higher. Your track times are great.

So all I have to do is bolt on a magnacharger run 12psi and poof 575whp? Are any other seeing these type of results?

What exactly is your problem?

The dyno numbers aren't important for anything other than tuning and upgrade comparison. It wouldn't matter if it read 356hp now would it? The track times speak for themselves and my truck is parked outside my door and driven every damn day.

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...
Again, if you are going to make the claim back it up.....or shut it up.

FORMER......you are funny.

I don't have a problem at all. I am just suprised to hear that you are making 575whp with only a blower at 12psi on a 5.3. I didn't realize that magnachargers put down numbers like that. I said your times were great! It wouldn't matter if the dyno read 356hp but your saying 575hp I thought that was a lot for a stock motor, but if others are seeing those numbers then it must be normal.

For the record maggie sells an Eaton Based Blower, They are An OE Manufactured supplier, And are used in several different apps, Such As Ford, Jag's,and several dif gm equipped vehicles. Just to name a few. There are several dif blowers and several dif uses of them. As for the OP intended use a maggie can fit the requirements asked.

This quote wasn't doctored. Those are his sentiments on both systems, so it sounds as if he's had both.

I am making 395whp and 424trq on mustang dyno with a 5200 redline at 10psi. That equals about 445-450whp and 500trq on a dynojet.

The maggie is less efficent at higher boost levels so I don't think that it would be an optimal choice.
IMO, a Maggie would match, if not best those numbers.

The TVS is more efficent than a Radix. Go find a map of both Whipple & a TVS, that could be some insight, good or bad.

I am pretty sure the maggie will max out before the whipple correct and the whipple is more efficient at higher boost levels.

I have never had one issue related to my whipple. I don't have slip problems or anything. There are plenty of knowledgeable whipple guys on here also. I do see a lot of guys running into trouble with the maggies though.
Bill begs to differ on the effficiency of the Whipple being better than the TVS.
OP wants 550-600RWHP, Bill's @ 575. Furthermore, that's w/. a 1900. How big is a Whipple? I'm guessin 2.2L. OK, so how bout a TVS2300 go toe-toe w/. a Whipple 2.2 on a 6L.

Claim? Why are u bashin Bill now? He's givin u some insight to his combo, & you're brow-beating him.

Hit the search button and type in magnacharger problems and you will find what you need sweetie. You never answered my other questions though. You have only had 25 complaints out of the 30k you've sold? Why are the lysolm/ whipple blower units used more than yours?

I said Former on this forum! Which it would appear you are, I don't the "supporting vendor" above you name anymore. Are you currently a vendor right now? Your pretty funny too with your emo I done with this forum threads, but here you are.

Jus don't worry man.You have a lot of work to compete with a Tvs maggie kit.You are right the blower is underestimated but its because everone that runs em dosent take the time to fix the restrictive problems.Maggies put out a better kit hands down even at the 112 level.This is coming from a guy that runs a twinscrew.
Can the blower compete sure spend some money and time it is worth it.I am probly the first guy that has rengineered this setup and so far the benifts our there.I have seen 17psi at 78iat's with ambient of 65.The truck will make the power jus need injectors better tune and more money lmao.In a 4.8 that should put it somwhere around 600-650rwhp but talk cheap so will see.
