I don't think it's quite like having a 9.3 liter engine, but close enough... I can't think of anything I'd change.

Well mines procharged and first gear is useless. So I would imagine the PD blower makes it even worse from a traction standpoint based on the fact it comes in at a lower rpm. (With stock tires).

Yeah, basically you will instinctively know when to hold back just as you do with stock. Around town it feels normal. Also I think your tuner should be able to tune back the throttle response if it's too squirrely.

Got your pm. I would jump on that deal. Seems like a very good deal to me.
And as other have said, it's kinda like having a 9 liter engine with the instant torque.
I've got pilot super sports and can pretty much get full traction in 2nd gear and higher as long as it's at least 70 degrees out. You'll LOVE it. The powerband is as controllable as stock. You get used to it very quickly.

Thanks alot guys. Magnusson definitely seems like the way to go. Picked up some Gforce axles yesterday that should give me some piece of mind with the added power.

I love mine! Great power.... I'm getting mine tuned in a couple weeks because of some issues with WOT in third gear... feels like misfire or too rich probably both. I don't really know as i don't have any gauges on there yet. That being said Magnuson has been great! I have not data logged anything so probably kind of difficult for them to adjust the tune accordingly. They've definitely been very helpful and offered a helping hand but I want to dyno it anyway so a dyno tune will be the way I'm going! Fit and finish of the Magnuson is great. Very happy customer. Can't wait for a custom tune

I've had mine for two weeks now and love it! I did a lot of research on my own and came up with the Magnuson heartbeat as the best PD SC and my performance shop highly recommended as well so it became an easy decision. I'm amazed at the power it puts down, with all stock internals, no fuel upgrades in put down 600rwhp on dyno with just the magnuson, upgraded 80mm pulley, header/exhaust, and custom tune.

I am in the exact same boat with my Procharger. Car feels great just driving around but if you hit it on the highway @ 70 in 3rd it goes too rich and misfires. Ted @ Jannetty Racing will be tuning my car just as soon as I get my HPTuning software setup so I'm confident it will be dialed in perfect before long.

You are still completely in control with the throttle application so you can drive it on the edge of what the tires and road conditions will allow.

The custom tuning can make the power very linear if so desired.

Feel free to hit me up for an estimate with custom tuning.

The Heartbeat is an amazing supercharger see my customers current build in this section.

Ted.
