HGW is off the scale
Default

The Whipple makes a better supercharger than Magnuson on paper. It is a twin screw vrs. a roots blower. The twin screw creates pressure (boost) inside the supercharger before entering the intake manifolds due to the design of their blower lobes.

This means the same boost at a lower exhaust temperature. It will produce more power for a longer time in the power band becasue it takes longer for the engine to get hot enough to reduce timing to compensate. High exhaust temps are also what kills a supercharged engine.

I discuss superchargers and turbochargers in detail in the next issue of Ultimate Hummers Magazine.

However, I use Magnuson----they have better service, better prgraming, and more reliabilty for a person who just wants to bolt it on and drive.

Hot dog drivers and shadetree mechanics can blow up a Magnuson or a Whipple in short order, especially when they modify boost without knowing what the hell they are doing.

More engine replacement business for HGW.
