There is no arguement on the quality of the the Magnuson. My point is just the amount of power you want to make. The reason I would suggest the ATI D1 is because you can put a large pulley in it and make 450 if you want, and if you decide later down the road that you want to build a strong motor and put race gas in it then all you need to do is change the pulley and tuning. Where as with the magnacharger your power is basically going to stop at 450 MAYBE 500. Now I had every bolt on with the Magnacharger and a 50 shot and only made 475. Not saying it cant be done to make 500 but I have not seen it on a stock motor on a truck. But Magnacharger's kit is more than you could ever ask for or expect.

The Magnacharger is gonna kick the D1's a$$ in the low range torque department also. That'll make it much more driveable compared to a centrifugal.

I must say that although I give the Radix kit hell sometimes for it ultimate power output it's all most of us would ever want/need.

I would defenetly agree, I loved mine for daily driving. Instant boost was always nice. But what I am saying is if you are thinking about bigger motor anywhere in the future, then I wouldnt recommend the Magnacharger, if not then I would recommend the Magnacharger.

I got to ride in my friends drifting elcamino with a magnacharged LS1 that I helped him build. (bubba drift) And the thing that I noticed wasn't how fast the car was. Honestly it didn't feel that fast, but then when he hit at 50 I realized that there was a huge cloud of tire smoke behind us because it was just melting the tires. The car would light up two 275 goodyears without effort in any situation that the car was in. The torque was very nice. Just wanted to share that with yall. BTW, the LS1 is on stock manifolds, stock pulley, and stock internals with just the superchips tune.
