Personally i like the kenne bell, but cant find a whole lot of info. or videos with them on GM stuff.
That will tell you what you need. If the kit you are getting is priced good no need to look elsewhere.
Whipple, no customer service.
KB??? not sure never delt with them one on one.

I thought about it, but ive read on here that roots types give you alot more off idle torque where as the centrifugal kicks in about 3500 rpms. I like the whine that the roots make, the procharger sounds like somethings about to go out.

Priced really good! Thats why i decided to get some input on the kenne bell because its the least expensive so far. Ive got a buddy with an 04 cobra with the KB and it makes awesome power and he hasnt had any problems so far. If I could find a TVS maggie for the same price as the KB id much rather have that.

Cheapest usu. means cheap. Inexpensive means u got a bargain on something, but it doesn't necessarily mean it is of inferior workmanship.

If you want to swear a lot, rip your hair out, buy another vehicle while yours is inop, lose your marriage, and kick your dog, buy a Whipple or a Kenne Bell.

Long as u enjoyed customizing that's cool. But it seems to me, if u need a good tune, inj, & an intercooler, well then they're not really optimized. I mean that if bolting onto a factory stock ride. The Maggie does that from the get. It's when going outside stock, or outside what any manf. originally intended for a given product, costs go up, breakage prolly, & power (hopefully).
I like a slap pn & go approach. Just my .02.

The way I look at it is if the guy has to ask, then he's not the 'customizing' type (additionally, I think that if you have to do stuff to just get it running than that really isn't 'customizing,' it's 'necessary work to get it running').

Exactly my point; just to get it running. Out of the box is what Maggie's excell at.
