Called PC yesterday. So far I'm set on a roots/ screw blower.I tow a travel trailer for my job and really like the low end of them. Pretty sure Whipple will get this one. Anyone with a Magnuson have any comments?

also lots of the competitors are having drivability issues due to the new e92 ecm and the torque based system. my trucks runs as good as stock and i still get 23 mpg highway.
the intercooler heat exchanger spans the entire radiator top to bottom and side to side and flows 7 gallons per minute. the heat exchanger is rated at 21,000 btu's
if you ask me any other kit is a fail by comparison.

I don't know about that guy, but I am definitely getting paid 
(I work for Magnuson). We're launching our 2014 6.2L Silverado kit this week. We were first to market with the 5.3L kit, so we got a jumpstart on tuning the new DI motors. I've been driving our 6.2L development truck and it's awesome - great driveability and tons of power (we'll release official power numbers soon, but it picks up around 100 rwhp at 6 psi).
For towing, you'd be better off with one of the Eaton TVS-based kits, as they'll make more low and mid-range power than a turbo, centri, or screw-type. I tow my track car with our supercharged trucks and I love it - lots of grunt, so that when you're towing up a grade it doesn't need to downshift and hunt. The Eaton-based units are also known for their reliability. We tow our fifth-wheel show-rig with a 6.0L truck with our 1900 blower, and it has over 90,000 miles and going strong (and has been known to pass some diesels on the Power Tour). We've been selling truck kits for over a decade, and we have people who call us to tell us they have 200,000 miles on their blower.
Any questions just let us know!

Magnuson and Whipple are both excellent options for a power adder, and are both very reliable with linear power curves which are ideal for towing. We have a twin turbo kit in the works as well right now, here is a link to the build thread if you would like to check it out:
