Guys on other boards are seeing upto 550 rwhp with a cam and Magnacharger.
Later this year more vendors will be carrying the kit so look for some more competitive pricing in summer.
I'm considering a Magnacharger or turbo right now. Can't decide.

I believe it requires some shaving and modification, tight fit, but it will work.

As posted above, there are already some good videos out there. As for me, if I go this route, I won't be done for a long while, I'm just gathering parts and information.

Thats sweet, although for all that modification I would just go with a Centrifugal blower (ie Procharger). Much nicer installs and kits are available with an intercooler as well.
Either one would still be badass!

A roots-style blower would be my last choice for a supercharger.
Centrifugal is the most efficient, but doesn't make power off the bat like a roots or screw.
I'd buy a twin-screw setup like the Kenne Bell before I'd buy a Maggie, but before that, I'd buy a centrifugal setup like the Procharger.

I figured that's about what it would look like.....there's definitely not much clearance there at all. Personally, if I were to do it, I think I'd fabricate some sort of a "hump" in the windshield cowl area to fit around the supercharger. I'm glad someone sees the merit of the swap and has done it though.
