Yes, both will help in that regard. With the blower as soon as you roll the throttle on you get boost.

Just finished up our TVS 1900 on the 6.2L Flex Fuel H2 today..........Pics to follow.


As for what is better, do your research.

I will add this, with the new TVS technology the gap between the efficiency ranges has close substantially.

Like real soon. Maybe its the extra drag of my awd, but any purposeful poke of the throttle and boost. Even if i ease into it on a hill.. bam boost. Its like the truck is teasing me

QUOTE=Mangled03gmc;4095748]Hahahahah listen to you MAGGIE *****.... Queers







For real, with that heavy truck, maggie is prob the best bang for the buck, as far as bolt on go, run the **** out of it. [/QUOTE]

Maggie and all other forms rely on rpm to give boost. Turbo relies on load, thus, the heavier the truck the better suited it is for a turbo to build boost down low... That is also the reason for some peoples dyno boost numbers being different on turbo set-ups, they don’t have enough weight to load the turbo to hit there target boost on the street.

You might need a bit more boost to hit 650 at the wheels, but at the crank, ya, easy...

Glad you pointed out the fact that a TURBO is more efficient...


Which is better???? Who knows... (I know, I think I do)

The BEST option is to try and find some people in your area that has both set-ups.. go see them maybe a test ride...

BTW.... I've never fallowed a radix down the track...

Seems like a good deal from STS if there going to do everything including a tune. I would go with the Turbo, just make sure the upgraded turbo is big enough. Thats the main problem with the turbos there never big enough. I went from the upgraded GT35 to a GT70 with my setup and still not big enough. The GT35 is for sale @ 400.00 Dusty never follows the Magnachargers!!
