Magnuson - Anyone have regrets getting one?

Like the subject says. Thinking about an I/C Magnuson this winter for my '02 Z with 31k miles. Pretty much stock - have LS1 edit with some minor edits, and also have a DTE strut brace on the tranny/diff. Given the car is 6 years old, I'm debating between:
a) The Mag for mine.
b) Trade mine for an '08 coupe 6 speed with Z51
c) Trade mine for a used C6Z

(a) is the cheapest, but lack of warranty on expensive stuff like the tranny is a bit scary. (b) is nice, but isn't any faster than what I've got. I guess a blower on top of it might be totally bad-ass. Still, a loaded C6 running mid-12s would be nice either way. (c) is a no-brainer, but the additional 30K in funds required over my trade-in is the least desirable path.


What do you folks think?

Thanks,
Chuck

Re: Magnuson - Anyone have regrets getting one?

Chuck, probably shouldn't even reply since I don't have a maggie but since they came out with the intercooler a few years ago, I haven't heard many complaints about that blower.
