Default Whipple Input??

Wondering how many of you guys are running a Whipple? What are your likes and dislikes? Would you rather have a Magnacharger or anything different?
Thanks
Ryan

Does anyone have a pic of how the brackets holds the rear of the supercharger? I know the front one bolts to the front of the head but that is it

If had 2 whipples, the 2.3 and now the 3.4, but theyre on a lightning. But I love the whipples and have never had any problems even up there in the 20 psi range.

Dislikes:
1. If I knew then what I know now, I could have saved money by only buying a blower and mounting brackets.
2. Not intercooled.
3. With an open-element air filter, it sounds like Sheriff Andy Taylor's siren.
4. It's too small for my new engine and the bigger one won't fit.

1. After intercooling, is way fun.
2. Power now.

Just curious but, are the Whipple chargers loud? Are they as loud as the Magnacharger Radix?
