The 2014's seemed to be an easier mock up without the annoying PS pump and other variations..
Already put 12,000kms on it, been to Sturgis, Yellow Stone Park and many other cruises. It is running awesome. Going to be adding more power this fall. Always want more.

The TQ curve on the baseline looks really, really odd .

We have not performed a side by side test. Based on the data we have, from other installs, the Magnuson Heartbeat Supercharger makes more HP and TQ even though it uses the same 2.3 Eaton Rotors.

Where it shines in my opinion is IATs and heat soak. This Supercharger is more efficient at maintaining lower temps and thus, more power.

I will clear the air on the Roto-fab intake for the Heartbeat supercharger. We have an inlet elbow for a different application which can be cut down to fit the Heartbeat. When doing so, we loose the barb on the end of the tube which helps with hose retention. Additionally, the tube itself generally has to be tapped for the breather fitting. The new tube we are finishing up on now will be molded with the hose barbs and have a molded-in brass fitting for the breather fitting.
With our Magnuson 2300 intake, most tuners reported an increase of about 35 HP over the stock intake. Several called in right after their dyno session and started the conversation with, "Would you believe...."
Our air box volume and large filter really make the difference on the supercharged cars where air demands are higher. That's why our systems have been so popular for Magnuson, Whipple and E-force applications. That's also why moving forward with the tooling for this application was an easy decision.
As soon as we have some pics we will post them. As you might guess, the pics for our HB system will look extremely similar to the pics posted on this thread.

We are very satisfied with both the results and the quality of the Roto-fab CAIs and one of the main reasons that they are std equipment on the Hot Rod Magazine Limited Edition Camaros as well as the NicKey Stage I,II and III builds.

For our 50 States Emissions legal builds we maintain the stock GM airbox.

Ive got about 500 miles on the blower. I just went to 1 meet before i started knocking out some exterior mod's. Then she will be getting more performance mod's and hopefully a forged 416.. Are you still running stock gears?
