there are benefits to both if you want bolt on and go then radix, if you want more power and better ET's whipple but Id be prepared to get 42 lbers and a custome tune which youll end up with anyway.

This was on 5-6psi the magna is a great kit but it cant breath like the whipple and with thier new stuff coming out. He says he got to 600 but I cant verify that.
But we are talking about a 4.8 here, the Maggie can provide plenty of boost. At least 12, maybe even 14. TURBOGIBBS made 450rwhp with his 4.8. Pretty stout numbers if you ask me. Running out of breath is not an issue with the maggie and a 4.8. The maggie can provide about 8-9 psi on a 6.0 and then it is maxed out.
For the average Joe who wants 500rwhp or less, I think the maggie is ok. The ideal set up would be an intercooled KB, whipple, or mp122h pushing a max of 15psi.
