Default Whipple Input??

Wondering how many of you guys are running a Whipple? What are your likes and dislikes? Would you rather have a Magnacharger or anything different?
Thanks

Does anyone have a pic of how the brackets holds the rear of the supercharger? I know the front one bolts to the front of the head but that is it

If had 2 whipples, the 2.3 and now the 3.4, but theyre on a lightning. But I love the whipples and have never had any problems even up there in the 20 psi range.

Dislikes:
1. If I knew then what I know now, I could have saved money by only buying a blower and mounting brackets.
2. Not intercooled.
3. With an open-element air filter, it sounds like Sheriff Andy Taylor's siren.
4. It's too small for my new engine and the bigger one won't fit.
Likes:
1. After intercooling, is way fun.
2. Power now.

Just curious but, are the Whipple chargers loud? Are they as loud as the Magnacharger Radix?
