I don't recommend adding any kind of FI to a daily driven LS7 in a heavy truck due to it's already high CR.

You have many hours of research ahead of you grasshopper. I wish you well on your quest, but you come off as undereducated because you are speaking of huge ticket items that don't compliment each other. As for the turbo vs super charger debate... Use the search button with key words like "radix" and "STS" . Welcome to the site. There is more here to learn than most people have spare time.

If your married get a divorce, if your single stay that way, more money to spend on your new bad habit.

If your going to do an LS7 get a 2wd SCSB truck, strip it down to lowest weight possible(under 3900lbs), lower it, get some better suspension/handling going and maybe a turbo-charged LS7 will start to fit the ride better.
