– Water to Air Intercooler system
– Includes all brackets, hoses and pulleys
– Heavy Duty PWR Heat Exchanger
– 8 Rib Dedicated Supercharger Drive Pulley
– Magnuson Tune and Calibration
– Includes professional installation
– Final chassis dyno numbers including wide band air/fuel ratio graph
Should cost around $15,000 CAD. Now, I would love to hear some opinions on the Magnuson's supercharger and how it fits with the LT1. I'm primarily worried about reliability over the long run, as this car is my daily driver (close to the 6000 miles mark after six months) and I'd like to keep it going for at least six years until I'm done my education. Our winters last 5 months, and in those, I drive the car like a baby.
TL;DR: insight on Magnuson's TVS 2300 supercharger over a long period of real world testing? Anybody claimed the warranty? How did it go? Is the Magnuson warranty a good substitute for GM's original one?

Magnuson uses the same OEM validated Supercharger components as Audi, Ford, GM, Jaguar, Nissan, Volvo, VW, etc. Durability requirements for these parts are 150,000 miles. To top that off, the same guy who was responsible for the SC Development team at Eaton is now at Magnuson. Long term reliability shouldn't be of any concern with the Magnuson.
Since it seems you are in Calgary, I assume that you are considering Davenport for your mods? They are a reputable shop that stand behind their work, I'm sure you'll be very happy with your upgrade.
