Magnum Superchargers was established in the late 1970's, by its current owner, Gary Hedden. Gary had been involved in drag racing in the Upper Midwest and Canada for years, having spent time working in various speed shops, such as L & L in Thunder Bay, Ontario, and J & J in Crystal, Minnesota. Over its lifetime, the shop has been involved in the construction of many drag and show cars, such as the famous and ground-breaking '55 Chevy Pro Streeter of Gary Kollofski.

While we have always offered custom engine-building, from street-rod to full race, as well as custom blower and fabrication-building services, our special focus has been on developing high-horsepower, streetable, pump-gas engines.

Often, when a customer visits the shop, with the preconceived notion that he is looking for a race-gas engine, he will find that he receives first a bit of education on...   (continued)

(back)   ...the real facts: that while it is indeed sometimes completely necessary to take advantage of the high-compression capabilities of race gas, it is also many times utterly unnecessary to do so. It is not enough just to say so though, which is why most Magnum Superchargers engines undergo dyno testing before delivery.

This type of advice has always flown freely at Magnum Superchargers. When your application really does require something more exotic, we will be happy to provide it, but first we will make sure that is really what you need.

That's just the way we do things.
