That sucks! I have given this advice many times, but for me, you should find out who is going to do the work on the car, who is going to tune it and then go with the setup they are most comfortable with. Truthfully, if not for being so close to Laynlo then I would have gone Procharger again. I have never had a Whipple, but the guys over there are putting up some seriously beastly numbers on the dyno.
@ramairroughneck, your comment about the "records" is just nonsensical and off-topic. You are pretending that the P1, D1 and F1 Prochargers are the same? Are you suggesting that the F1 might deliver low end torque for the OP?
That's like saying the P1 and D1 Prochargers will not set the records held by the current F1 blowers (with nitrous). Yeah, good point. The F1 will also have the worst low-end torque of any of the setups.
The F1 is in a different place for sure. It's also not the Procharger that anyone runs on the street. Reasonable people can agree the blowers to compare: Whipple 2650, Magnuson 2300, Procharger P or D series. They are all completely streetable and fun. Arguing over which is "better" is just ignorant. The are all unbelievable and make for such a fun street car. It just so happens that in this thread, that wasn't the question.
If you want to compare the F1, then you have to compare that to the 2650 model which hasn't been released. . .so it's fair to say that Magnuson doesn't currently have a model blower to compete with the F1 (nor does anyone else). However, that is not the same as comparing the Whipple 2650 to the Magnuson 2300 (where Whipple is showing better peak HP numbers and Magnuson is delivering better track times) because it is a discussion about the best setup for low-end torque and reasonable people can agree that the top two options are the Whipple 2650 or the Magnuson 2300. (For sure the LT4 blower can get into the discussion on the low end).
I am not nearly as confident as Shizzy. I think the Whipple guys might be planning an all out assault on the fast list next year. . .but that's for a different thread...and by then the game changes because the new Magnuson will be released too. In this thread, however, the data comparing the best configuration for "low-end" power of the Procharger vs the Magnuson is very clear, is it not?
