The Apten porting significantly weakens the supercharger casing resulting in significant flex. This flexing reduces supercharger expected life to about 50K depending on pulleys used.
All I can tell you is that an Apten modified blower was sent to Eaton and the engineers out of curiosity did an evaluation of it.

Thanks for the input!
I'll be going with an MP set up. For the additional 1100$ I'll have a complete second blower..I'll sell the stock eaton and further bridge the gap.
The Apten port seems like a great deal -but it's completely hidden mod..I think in the long run if I ever decided to sell the truck being able to show the buyer a visible upgrade is worth more.
So more performance with a longer upgrade mortality curve..and better resale..for less than a grand more.
Thanks again
