The tvs will work. The old whipples are not intercooled. YOU DO NOT WANT A WHIPPLE! Trust me on this. I wasted many thousands on one and my truck actually got slower. Intake temps in excess of 250 degrees. You can find magnacharger blowers and tvs blowers all day. Whipple are not that popular. I wonder why. Whipple also has lousy customer service. I would really and truly recommend not to do any of them unless you have a daily driver vehicle as any type of power adder is going to break stuff. That costs a ton of money. These trucks are more expensive to make go fast. I would also recommend that someone local to you can tune that will eliminate a ton of headaches if you chose to do it.

Thanks for the info. Ive been reading alot on whipple and will not go with them due to there customer service. If I get one it will be a maggie. As far as reliability im not sure what I will have to worry about. The 14 bolt FF rear should be fine as well as the 4L80e. The 6.0 will probly be the weak point but If I run it on the stock pulley size that comes with the kit it should be fine no? Im not looking to make the truck stupidly fast, just quick for a big truck. IE sub 14 second 1/4 mile. The truck will probly remain stock other than the maggie, no headers or cams or anything like that. I found a deal on a kit for $4600 shipped but im sure its just the mp112 unit, If I get a tvs system do you know what year kit I need to buy and what will be different?

Check the classifieds section on here, the radix or tvs come up for sale all the time. I bought mine used years ago the only thing it was missing was the fuel pump. Go the magnacharger route, its complete, proven, etc.

As for the motor, my truck had 50k on it when I put the blower on, now it as 126k with no issues.

As long as you don't exceed 10lbs of boost your engine will be just fine. The weak point will be your wallet paying for gas. I am not sure what all is different on the tvs but I am sure that you can get one to fit.

The 14bolt g80 might cause you problems, the 4l80 will hold up just fine if your not constantly hammering the throttle, the lq4 will run all day on 7lbs of boost.

ya i suppose your right the posi unit might give me trouble but the gears and stuff should be ok. I mean obviously I could break stuff if Im being rude to it but like I said the truck shouldnt be falling apart all the time. I dunno I prolly should just keep my car and leave my truck alone
I figure at least with the maggie kit even if I sell my truck I can just take it off and put it on my next chevy truck for the most part

Not sure if this is helpful or not, but my 04 2500hd rclb made 387rwhp (not supercharged though) ran 13.20's @ 102mph on the stock tires. So it should run sub 14's no problem. And I never had a problem with the stock g80 unit either. It had over 145k HARD miles on it when I sold it.
