I would save your money and look at getting a whipple, Kenne Bell or big TVS blower. You have probably hit an efficency limit of the magnacharger and thus your gains will be insignificant, even with more boost.

See if you can find some more info on your blower and what it's efficency range is.

You have a good setup. I want to forge the motor and eventually throw another sc at ; maybe not a F2 though.

If your at 11.7 your fine. There are a couple of things I would spend the money on before buying cams. Wait tell you replace the motor to do cams, the stock cams are actually very good.

1. k-member, a-arms, and radiator support
2. ice box for the trunk to bring inlet temps down
3. race gas tune
4. save the money for another SC

Just curious, what are your 60ft times?

Thanks guys for the advice.. Next supercharger I'll defintely make sure I have some headroom and that I have room to grow.. I am being told that when I upgrade the motor to possibly see about throwing a TH400 in there instead of the 5r55, but I do like my overdrive. The Magnacharger is based on the 112 Eaton roots style blower. Honestly sactown it's never been down the track.. I live right outside St Louis Mo and the local track Gateway International in Madison IL closed down last year.. Kurts thinks its around a 11.7-11.8 right now at about 117 , but that just a best guess..
