definitely easier to launch a car with 400less wht and 175 fewer hp.
The torque and power curve from the 13 psi Procharger is closer to the Magnuson running 8psi.
For the OP, you will definitely see people coming out in favor of their team and justifying their own decision on these threads. They are right there are many good options; however, to answer your original question, when all of the rhetoric is done...you can look at the numbers posted and the answer to your question could not be more black and white.
Traction...you already pointed out the answer, Nitto555R’s and you are golden (I am moving my writing harness this weekend and ordering MT's). You will need to be careful in 1st, but rocking out in 2nd. Good luck with your decision.
For the PD blowers, the Lt4 is the cheapest with the lowest performance ceiling. The Magnuson and Whipple will be very similar. Recently the Whipple folks are putting down more power on the dyno and the Magnuson people are running better 1/4 mile times. Once the weather gets nice again, we should have some real shootouts. We just ran out of weather.
