Anyone know of someone building superchargers for the 8.1l motors?

tierod noticed you have a turbo on your 8.1, much problem going that route for the forced induction?

Not really. I like the STS design. I do tow a 5th wheel trailer from time to time. It keeps the under hood heat down. I need to get a methanol kit for it then we can get the tune nailed down.

thats his old truck.... he just had the heat on.

AS tierod said, your only option at the this point is STS... or finding a used whipple on e bay. I looked for 8 months ever freaking day until i found a whipple.

Trickperformace is working on a 8.1L project truck so hopefully they will have some new products out at some point.

That would be sweet if they come out with something for the 8.1 I am wanting to do some sort of FI on this thing.
