It's the exact same as a standard Maggie, just with the SLP logo. The Maggie in it's own is a great setup.

So the SLP then would be a great set up as well since it's the same as a Maggie. Would you say it is better than the E Force?

What would be the difference with the SLP as to the E Force?

Really it's comparing apples to oranges. Essentially they're identical. The maggie has an outstanding track record, but chevy uses the same Eaton supercharger that Edelbrock sells. So to be quite honest, there really is no one that is better than the other.

Ohhhh I seeeeeee.... We'll in case it's just personal preference and looks of the unit really... I wonder if the ease of instal differs between the 2. I'm sure you would probably have to remove the front fascia on both of them to start.

Front fascia takes minutes to remove. It's not heart surgery.

The Maggie and the YSI are both fantastic blowers. I had the 2300 for 4 1/2 years. No complaints. Only part on my car the was trouble free. Wanted a change so I'm running a YSI and 20+ psi. It's fun to drive on the street.

Slowhawk, how is the throttle control better with the ECS?

So far the only down side I'm seeing with the ECS kit is it takes up a lot of space in the engine compartment so it would be harder to work on your engine after it is installed because of the limited space. Is this correct?

And the downside for the PD blower is Price, heat, and lower HP then ECS correct?

Oh and the PD blower needs a CAI where the ECS kit does not use one due to space?

Thanks guys!

Depending on what kind of motor work you're having done, you can work around the ECS kit. The ECS kit does not use a CAI kit because there is no need for it. If you look at the Vortech kit, it is nearly identical, however the reason that you see just a filter on it is because of airflow. They learned that it doesn't achieve the same power because the airflow on the Vortech has to travel from the front of the car, to the side and back into the blower. By just having it where ECS has it, it's more unrestricted and has zero to little effect on IAT's.

I have the YSi kit now, and even though it is a larger blower, I don't find that much more difficult to work on the engine.
