I am new this site, and I need to ask a few questions.

1. Has anybody installed a Magnuson or Whipple on a 2012 Silverado 5.3 ?

2. Which brand of these two has better reliability?

3. Which of these has the better performance?

4. If a problem arises which has the better factory support?

Any and all information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Larry

It'd be no different than a 07-10 Maggie or Whipple install, you can use the search function and find volumes of information on guys running both of these.

We have installed several on the 2012 Silverados, not much has changed since 1999! The Magnuson system is the most complete system for these trucks available in the marketplace today.

You will be splitting hairs on the performance side if you are running the stock boost up to 10 or 12 PSI, over that the screw might start taking over. Remember these motors are only good to about 8 or so before you start running into reliability problems.

Magnuson has the BEST factory support in the industry, Whipple is a close second.

Give me a call if you have any further questions.
