Heheh well typically I'm anywhere from 2-5 months out typically. It's funny, I can never remember when things will be printed and such, for example the shootout in that issue I did in APRIL! :)

Are they still using a roots or have they switched to a twinscrew like Eaton has. There is a MTI in GMHTP that says they have twin screw kits available?

Magnacharger is a roots style. Whipple (lysom) and Kenne Bell (autorotor) are twin screw.

It's an advanced roots type. http://www.magnusonproducts.com/mp112.htm Interesting article here http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/MagnaCharger/ index.html

I know that Eaton makes roots style blowers. Eaton is the suppler for the Ford GT(40) and that blower is a twin screw. So Eaton now makes at least one twin screw blower. I was wondering if Magnusson was using that blower but I guess not.

The GT has a 10 rib setup and I acctually thought it was a blower from whipple. I did not know that it was supplied from eaton.

EDIT: Just figured out who you were ;) Didnt know we had a movie star here. Was that scene with the dealership and "test driving" the cobra setup or not?

Screwed Goat was the guy on the scandelous street racing video that test drove a 03 cobra and was having too much fun with it when the salesman was in the car with him.

The sales guy had no clue what we were going to do with the car.

How did you know it was me? The name under Screwed goat? This is the only site that Im not Evil SS or Evil turbo SS?

What did you think of the Vid? People like that test drive more than the DVD. Its kinda funny. We have another one for the second DVD but were not sure if we will be able to use it. We are going to tear the ass out of an 05 GTO if we cant use the 300C abuse vid we did.
