Default Cant Decide. boost or motor. (DD)

Ok, so I have a FBO Yukon right now. I've came across some good deals on turbo stuff lately. And I also have came across some L92 stuff.

This is my DD. It's 2wd. I know I'll need a trans with either setup. So do I drop a 6.2 with a cam and such now, maybe add a lil juice. Or go with a turbo. I was all for a turbo setup, until I see alot of people talking about turbo isn't great for a DR and a PD blower would be better for a DD, and such a heavy pig.

I'm very indecisive. So I need opinions to help make my mind up. My goal is 11s in the long run. But I'd like 12s sooner.

The only reason I wouldn't go with a PD blower right now, people still want a arm and leg for them, or they dont come up often, for sale.

I'm definitely biased... But a pd blower makes great dd power. That's how id do it if I was you.

No need for a loose converter with a heavy ride, no need for complex turbo systems that require a lot more maintenance and tinkering. It's power under your pedal, no delays and no bullshit. I don't know what your truck weighs but I'm a pretty good example of the capability of even a small PD blower in a heavy truck. There are plenty others on here too. Roger(AKlowrider) Tim (TimZ) and pat (03sierraslt) are also great examples. It may not pull on the highway like a turbo could, but it's still damn strong. The instant power down low I think is much more fun around town on a dd than how it pulls at 110. At least that's the case for me anyway.

I'm at 5400. On heavy 22s. I planned to cut some weight. Get it down to 5100 maybe 5000.

PD blower or large displacement would get my vote for your set up.

I had a blower, went to a turbo, now im going back to a blower. You said DD, to me a blower is much easier.
