Magna Charger without radix
I am looking into an old style side mount Magnacharger without the intercooler or radix setup. Is this supercharger any good? Any mentionable downsides to it? I just want some info on the old style Magnacharger and what users think of it.

I've got over 30k of hard driving on mine with no issues. Probably would have gone with the Radix if they were out when I was shopping but the kit is a well engineered kit and provides great results. A custom tune will really help it as well. Get it. You will be happy you did.

Can you increase the pressure of the Magnacharger by chaging gears? It doesnt hurt the MPG to much does it? I do have the regular mods(exhaust, filter, etc.) so I am ready for a supercharger, and I have a local guy who does custom tuning. Is it possible just not even use the tuner that comes with the magnacharger kit?

I think the best tuning would be to install the superchips that comes with the kit as a good base tune. Then let a pro tweak it. Starting from scratch will take much more work.
