Looking for some opinions from those who have em, installed them etc.
I will be supercharging my LS3 early next year.

I'm trying to get all the info i can before pulling the trigger.

Installed my own e-force at home. pretty straight forward install and if you are comfy with spinning a wrench then go for it. No regrets on my decision. cant speak for the other brands but Im sure they are comparable. The 5th gen is SO easy to work on. So much room in the engine bay,. I love it!

The e-force gives you a stock look which I liked. The Maggie gives you an in your face, I have an SC look. The choice is yours.

I believe that Graham at Lingenfelter has the answers already from testing the TVS 2300, TVS 1900, E-Force and the LS9 Supercharger. He could tell you anything you want to know about them.

If you install the E-force yourself there is no warranty. Also it is pretty much the only thing you can have on the car. You might wanna read the warranty. As for myself I'm going with the maggie. Probably tomorrow if I can find time to order it.

I love my Magna Charger. It was fun and easy to install, the installation manual is well written with great photos. Along with a cam, a tune and some other goodies from ADM Performance, my 2010 Camaro is a screamer. Andy and Pat are the best.

Whether you decide on Magnuson, Kenne Bell or Edelbrock you will not regret adding a Super Charger to your car.

I can tell you from personal experience that Magnuson's customer service and support is above and beyond ... they are incredibly responsive. For me it made a huge difference.

+1

I have to say that the customer service aspect of the Maggie is a huge draw for me. I love the look of the KB and the extra power potential, but the Maggie is leading the pack for my business as of right now.

As for the Eforce, I'm not a fan of the look. Plus the fuel issue is a deterant for me as well.

I wouldn't get too attached to the "warranty" aspect of any supercharger. Most don't cover full replacement cost of anything and are very very specific as to when they will cover anything. I'd save the money for when you break something and not put my money towards the worthless piece of paper that the words Warranty are printed on.

Don't confuse the normal product warranty with the supplemental warranty. The only warranty effected by a DIY install is the supplemental powertrain warranty which is thru an insurance carrier. Edelbrock's manufacturers warranty on the kit is not effected by a DIY.
Magnusson's Powertrain warranty is the same. They just don't openly post it on their website like Edelbrock does (at least I couldn't find it).

i like the e force low end tq and hp at 5000 rpm for daily driving sounds like the best set up for people staying around 8 lbs, however I haven't seen the e force push any thing higher than 600whp.

How about a Vortech .. 7.5lbs Headers 631whp??

any more?

Did my E-Force myself too, and I'm not much of a mechanic.
