i was thinking of a Maggie Supercharger or a Twin Turbo setup from STS, What is yalls thought and what are some of the pro's and Con's of both. let me know what yall have or what yall would do?
Ive wanted to know about this as well. I've heard supercharges are the way to go because you don't have to swap so much stuff out.
Is it just me, or is there a LOT of other things missing from this list? It's a lot like lifting a truck. When I had a Jeep Comanche, the popular lift was 6". Well, in addition to new front coil springs, and rear leaf springs/shackles, there was a BUNCH of other things to lift it properly (brake lines, shocks, control arms, track arms, etc). I don't see remapping the ECU, new injectors, fuel pump, manifold, intake, etc. That would be a half-ass way of doing it, certainly nothing I'd recommend to anyone. Again, could it be done, probably? Should it be done? Not with that short list...
yeah man, i thought it was pretty basic when i turbo'd my ranger, but man that ist got really long really fast once i started tearing into it. and along with that list came a huge price tag
I took my car to the speed shop a few days ago to have the engine rebuilt and saw a Whipple supercharger in a display case that looked alot like a Maggie. I've never heard of Whipple before. Anybody else heard of them? After I get my car back, if i'm not balls out pleased with it (I probably will be), then I'm looking to start saving up on a Procharger setup for the simple reason that I already have a $1000 FAST LSXR 102mm intake manifold, and just don't have the heart to sell it and slap a supercharger in its place. Otherwise, I too would be looking at Maggies.

Yes, Whipple has been in the game a long while. Haven't owned one though so I cannot attest to their performance.
