WHIPPLE SC Vs. MAGNUSON SC - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi All,

I have a 2011 Camaro SS (LS3) and I am getting a supercharger this year. I have done a lot of research between the Whipple Supercharger and the Magnuson supercharger and I literally could go with either one. Therefore, I created this thread to get your guys opinions on your experience with either of these superchargers and what do you recommend

My current Engine Mods are a RotoFab CAI and 1 7/8" ARH Long Tube Headers. What other engine modifications do you recommend to do at the same time in order to maintain the engine's durability.

Thanks

Josef

I'm sure all you will hear what is better, is what they have on their car. That being said, Whipple is better. LOL

Whipple ftw!!

Curious about this one myself. I have a tvs 2300. No complaints but it is working hard to push a 427 inch motor. I know there are many factors in considering what is going to produce maximum efficiency for a particular combination. I know ADM listed his opinion on what the best blowers were. Seems GM uses the smallest one possible to achieve the desired performance level. I know the power comes in differently for the whipple and tvs. Don't know what that difference is. I have no issue with the tvs . I could use a little more volume at this point but I don't have it maxed out by any means.

I have a maggie, i love it. The whipple is better.

The COPO uses a 4.0L and 2.9L Whipple

SLP TVS 2300 new style. Love it!

You have a solid heads or tails there. Could throw Eforce in there just to muck up the thread.

It really comes down to Blower size for Goals Now and in the future.

All of the 2300 offerings are Solid Performers and will easily make 700 RWHP and with some massaging as much as 800 RWHP although difficult.

The Whipple 2900 Just gives you More Head room for Growth 800 RWHP is a bit easier and approaching 900 RWHP is doable.

We are Talking built Engines Not Stock for the Higher end of the spectrum for both.

I Really Like the Simplicity of the SLP TVS 2300 but they are All Very good.

SLP
Magnuson
Edelbrock use TVS 2300 rotors.
Whipple uses they own 2900 Rotors.

I like my Maggie...from JRE as well. I am at 650-680rwhp depending on dyno, I am on stock bottom end for a couple years now but only about 10000 miles but all driven hard and sporty driving. I am very pleased with the times at the track for an M6 and I think I still have a couple tenths left I in the car since my best time was run in the Florida summer heat. That being said I thought I was only going to go 550-600rwhp but I still crave more and almost wish I had went Whiple but they were brand new when I got my Maggie so I opted for the reliable brand with some history behind it on LS engines. Again very happy with the Maggie and it is all about our goals for the car.

I been looking for someone with your mods and has been to the track! First, what gear and rpm are you at when you hit the end of the 1/4? Thanks...

Gary B · 01-25-2014, 02:25 PM

What kind of 60 foot times are you getting at the track?

Turbo99 · 01-25-2014, 02:41 PM

Well always finish in 4th gear, I have ran 3.45 rear gear (stock) a 3.91 gear ( this was my fastest pass), and now I run a 3.73 gear. The 3.91 was just a little too low for the track so I went to a 3.73 but haven't made a pass yet with it but it should be really close to the 3.91.
I have a best 60ft of 1.54 on some 17" Bogarts and hoosier slicks.
