Any word on date available? These will be through the dealer and Magnuson? As long as the price is around $4k, I'll be ordering one. I had been planning a basic turbo build but with so many decisions to make the lazy side of me likes this way better.
I'm way more tempted than I should be.. and I have a 93. Still searching through old threads for good info on that.
I will play at 4-5k

Aghhh, I have been waiting for this to happen for so long. Lucky me, about to loose 33% on USD-CAD exchange!
I have one Magnuson manufactured SUPERCHARGER 4.5L being shipped to me (brand new) within 5-7 days. If anyone wants it, it will be $5100. If you don't want to miss the opportunity to have the ever evasive "unicorn" SC of 80 series, then hit me up. I will not budge on the price and I will post a picture when I get it in hand, with a newspaper or my phone (time/date) in the pic to validate. Lance
I don't get it....C-Dan says wholesale price will be around $3850....and Magnuson says around $4400....why would someone buy yours when these are in production?

I would think people would want a turbo kit for that much rather than a charger. Plus with a turbo you get much more flexibility.

Because where there are smog checks you will fail. Part of the $$ going into the SC is that it has the CARB EO certs need for smog testing.

You don't need a supercharger, you need a super hero!
So, that I understand is your price $3850. Your is there a mark up, if so what's the $$$

The initial price they gave me was $4375. However, they are looking for someone to be a DEALER. Like cruiserdan said: $3850 is probably about what the dealer will pay(wholesale).
Note: If there are 20-30 orders, I imagine that dealer price will be far less than $3850. Remember, we do have some buying power leverage!
My 2 cents about turbos:
From what I read and pondered, turbos are more difficult to tune and the intercooler piping gets in the way. If you don't want to rock crawl or stump jump, go for it!
Turbo's are no more difficult to tune than the SC if you maintain the same amount of air as the SC'r if you decide to go crazy than yes it will be a lot more work, but at the end of the day if you maintain the same amount of air, the engine and ECU doesn't care what the delivery method is.
is there info on what's in the kit?
fuel / timing calibration, all the ducting, ect?
what displacement charger does it use?

I would be in for one if it is priced at less than $4k and works reasonably well with the 93/94 trucks. When will specs and installation information be available?
