Well an out of the box supercharger kit usually adds around 100hp, and so did your "stock" nitrous jetting, whatever the hell that means.... So what's the difference?? You had a 6L in a heavier truck, and he's got less cubes in a smaller truck so all things considered it should be a fairly even comparison right?? With that being said... Why are you content with your slow *** mid 13's and still insist on calling this guys truck "embarrassing"?? Since you're the guru here and were all here to supposedly learn from you, what was your trap speed and 60ft time on your 13.4 second glory pass?

Have you seen your truck lately? Pretty damn embarrassing IMO... I'd drive it into a wall if I had a 6L on spray and couldn't get out of the 13's, better yet, you do it

See my point? You're bashing on the guy and your **** has never done any better. But miraculously, for some reason, you are once again content with your hackness, and find ways to put someone else's efforts down. Ever considered the DA where he ran? Track conditions? Tons of reasons why a mid-low 13 isn't really all that terrible....

I met 1slwgto at the local track to me, our DA isn't typically the best but it also isn't the worst either.

My nitrous cost me $350, the SC was $2000+?

Again if the 100 shot didn't get me there(stock jetting is very conservative was the point) I was 150 jets away from a certain 12.9 or better.

If my truck was super charged and it ran 13. I would be looking for what went wrong. Was it shitty DA, do I desperately need a converter(that is a no brainer, a stock LS "needs" a converter!!!!!!!!!!), do I have 2.73 gears, is there a tuning issue, or do I just have turd? I would say, especially, if he has the smaller of the two chargers then the converter become much more important to let it get into the higher rpms and make it's max boost.

My "bashing" as you put it is honest truth and constructive criticism, at least in my opinion. "how bad are my times" That tells me the OP expected better. I would have also.

My truck brakes down something close to this.

1.89(I think)
9.5ish
13.4@102?

I will try to dig up a slip or thread that might have the exact data.

I paid under 10 for the truck with the pro charger and a gear vendor unit on it. I've been doing nothing but getting the bugs worked out with this thing. When im done the I should be happy with it. I really didn't know what to expect from the truck at the track. I also think that if I didn't have a full tank of gas it could of helped out a little. I'm just going to see what all I can get out of the p1sc.

Tank of gas might have held you back .1 so nothing big.

With out a doubt you are a converter away from having a very quick truck. A small tuning issue or da might be working against you but the biggest road block is your stock converter.

Converter and tire IMO are the two most important items to buy on the front end of any build. Since you bought the truck with the SC, you are ahead IMO.

As far as custm2500 goes. Definitely calling the kettle black. OP bought the truck as is unlike him. If I was going to bother putting a bottle on something it would have a converter in it before hand. Way yo go custm2500, keep building your turd
