Default Magnuson Supercharger?

Steeda offers a supercharger called the Magnuson. I was wondering if anybody has this supercharger... I have really never heard of it being used often at all. I do want to look into it. Anyone got more info? (I still have my heart set on joining the whipple crew however)

It's a roots-style supercharger, like the Roush.

Saleen, Whipple, and KB are all twin-screw. Much more efficient.

Hey there,

We have a Magnuson on both of our shop cars - 429 RWHP and 402 RWTQ. Very nice setup. Available satin or polished. Here is a link to them:

Hope this helps some
