FYI, The bell shaped power curve I speak of us common with a turbo......I have NEVER seen a plateau tq curve like a PD blower from a turbo.

Evidently I do not remember you, care to refresh my memory via PM?
Keep in mind - I am pro Maggie over other PD systems. I agree and have said many times it looks great. Below is a clear example of how a turbo will carry out the power and the Maggie won't. We both know why that is. This is not intended to take anything away from your blower set up. I also understand as the resident Magnuson sales guy it is your job to preach PD blowers and talk down the turbos - Me on the other hand I have had both on the same car now and have no loyalty to either - just personal opinion with no axe to grind in either direction



How is this a bell shaped curve?

Maggie
3.4 pulley. 8 psi. Now realize these #'s are 91 octane, 106 degrees


[/QUOTE]

This looks more bell shaped to me





Here is another one - Torque starts dropping by 4500 with Maggie
