Magna Charger’s new MP 2300 supercharger technology is the
same used for the new ZR1 Corvette. The four-lobe rotor features a high-twist
160? helix that has improved efficiency (less power to drive), cooler discharge
temperatures and is much quieter. Additional efficiency is the result of the
unique bypass valve that reduces parasitic drag during normal driving. The
Magna Charger also interfaces seamlessly with the GM Active Fuel Management
system (some models) that cuts the engine to four cylinders at light throttle. The
Magna Charger system, with its Roots design, provides substantial power
increase: 150 bhp with stock LS3. High manifold pressure produced at low engine
RPM provides significantly more low end and mid-range torque compared to
centrifugal superchargers. Magnuson's unique intercooler design, built into the
intake manifold base (patent pending), lowers charge air temperature up to 100F
to increase power.
