I like the Maggie cause' it just totally cool, but I also like the ProCharger for other factors like easier setup, no issues with engine knocks / detonation, don't have to carve up engine cover, no meth required (to cool engine more), self lubricating, and amazingly high rwhp on very little boost @ 6psi.

I have LT headers, new exhaust w/ cats and x-pipe, a CAI and booster CAM. My expectation because of the stage II booster cam is about 660rwhp. with about 500-520lbtq. level to about 4.5k with a procharger, and about 580rwhp. with similar lbtq. numbers straight through the higher bands.

Wondering if people with similar setups as mine (no forged internals or stroked engines) can share their experiences and RWHP numbers with their Maggies or Prochargers, and the type of tune you got (canned or custom).

Much appreciated.
Maggies are getting good power and low end torque, too, on 6 psi. If you add an air box, full exhaust, and custom tune you can probably expect near 550 RWHP. There are at least a couple cars here I can point to, and another magazine car that's there with no problem. These are LS3 cars, BTW. I've read some comments elsewhere of IAT temperatures with the Procharger, too, and though they weren't crazy, it's not like they don't suffer from heat too, after a point.

My point is, it seems almost all of the these SCs, at their stock power levels, are putting out close to the same power. I can think of a couple that were higher, but you haven't included them, and I haven't seen enough independent apples-to-apples comparisons yet to make a comfortable judgement (these SCs were running 8-9 psi on their stock formats). I believe the Maggies come with 6 psi.

JMVHObservations.
