Just moved from Virginia to Colorado. Drove from the Springs to Breck yesterday, and some of those passes are damn near 10,000' MSL. My poor little 3.6 with MT spinning 35" tires was huffing and puffing, and it was really hard to maintain highway speeds at many points along the route.
Since I'm now living at ~6.000' MSL, it's looking like a supercharger is a realistic option. I've read a ton on a lot of the other kits on the market, but since my JLUR is a daily driver and I don't rev over 5K, a roots charger just makes more sense.
I already have a Livernois Motorsports ECU, and it works great. Running 91 octane tune, and it definitely performs better than stock, but I really need help at altitude.
I haven't seen much in this forum regarding the Magnason. Anyone have this installed? I've seen all the Toyota YouTube videos, and it all seems very legit, but I know there have been problems with running SC on the 3.6 in the past. The local shop here is biased towards V-8 conversions, but if I'm going to spend that much cash I'll have to save up for the new 392, if I can find one that I want, which might take a year or two (and not paying extortion money to dealerships on top...)
Would be grateful for any real-life experience with the Magnuson kit.
Thanks!
