Incredible set up. I just read through this and got very excited when you were contemplating on running a black powder coated 2300 over the polished one. I have a new black powder coated one here, going on my Silverado SS, and would have loved to trade you + cash for your polished one. Lol. That whipple looks mean. Seems like you too are a die hard fan of roots blowers. Haha how many do you have now?!. Can't wait to see vids/numbers. I'm very stoked to do the LS3 swap and bolt the 2300 on myself. Got any words of wisdom for someone embarking on a similar build to the one you just completed? I too need a 80e swap and my fuel system needs more work. So you ended up going with a gen v camaro accessory drive? I was debating this as well and got ahold of Joe from left coast 32. He recommended a hybrid drive (cross from car and truck accessory drives). I'm going 8 rib. Didn't see a need for 10. Lol! Beautiful build. Keep us posted!

For the boost that I'm at I might have gotten away with 8 ribs also, but oh well. BTW Joe knows his stuff, has great products.
As for the hybrid vs the 5th gen accessories. I like the look of the 5th gen accessories over the truck style. IMO cleans up the engine bay.
As far as going LSA heads, they're a stronger head casting. But with the boost that I'm at, I could have saved some money and gone LS3/L92 heads. But I always overbuild.
Let me know if you have anymore questions or if I can help.

As far as head to head I'm not sure. I know Joe LC32 did a test and from what I recall the whipple put down more power at lower boost levels than the Maggie. That's when I decided whipple was for me. That and the price that I got them for
