MagnaCharger For Vortec heads?

I was just on MagnaChargers website, yea it looks like its been out for a bit, or atleast the news on it has been, but i was wondering has anyone had any experience with this unit yet?

http://www.magnacharger.com/pr010.htm

I was kind of looking to go with forced induction, with fuel injection, and from the pic, it comes with injectors, sooo, one wouldnt bee too far off from swaping to a FI set up. Also i couldnt find an online place that had a price on it, so it could be way out of most budgets.

Just my .02's, you'd be better off saving a little longer and getting a different set of heads.
You'll have plenty of torque from the 383 down low and choke on top from the small port. Dart IE platinum 200's are about the best deal price vs performance.
Traction would be hard to come by with the vortecs.
A bigger port will make it more driveable.

Thanks for the info, but at this time its just more of a thing of gettin git up and going, and ive had the vortecs sitting on my bench for some time now waiting to get on an engine. I was actually looking in to going with a T76 turbo, with some AFR 220s, with a DFI system, or the HSR with a megasquirt controller.
