Default Magna Charger?

Has any one heard or have one of these? I really want the whipple but can have the magna charger installed with 3 yr 36000 mile warranty at www.livernoismotorsports.com I only have 6k to spend right now thats why I was looking at this unit. So I couldA: buy the whipple and install it myself orB: get this with a warranty. What would everyone else do? Are these any good?

Saw one yesterday on a new Bullit and it looked and sounded great. He was running the standard Magna Charger tune so he wasn't sure what HP he was running yet.

I know someone who put the magnacharger on and did not make that much power - it was about 370. It sounded great and had instant response but wasn't pullimg much boost. He went to upgrade to a smaller pulley and kept throwing belts. He sold it and bought a whipple. Depends on your long term goals. His was to make as much safe power on the dyno and run some good 1/4 mile times once in a while. Magnacharger wasn't his answer.

Having an extra belt is not a good idea.

Adam @ ST has one sitting on a shelf that was from a GTO. Broke the main shaft 3x and the intercooler core / manifold is just poorly designed.
