With this build, I want power, of course, but also something that can go 400 miles on a tank of gas (no E85 for me). I want a cross-country cruiser. From my reading, again Magnuson seems best in that regard when it is driven tamely. Your thoughts?

The Magnuson Heartbeat has an internal bypass when open in cruise modes it takes less than a 1/2 Horsepower to turn the blower.

Similar to an AC compressor it only gets used when needed.

My car still knocks down 27 MPG Highway.
