As said above. Depends on your price range, and power goals. I like front mount turbos myselfe, but large screw blower could be fun too.

Take your pick, what kinda budget you have, what are your goals. Is the truck a DD, do you care about turbo lag??? Both a blower an turbo will make great power on the 6

OMG if this isn't one of the most asked questions! The answer depends on what brand of throttle body spacer you are running!

Having had both a Turbo and SC, I would say if you want ease of instillation, reliability and a great driveability go with the Radix, you can't beat the customer service, with that being said if you want more power and the ease of going to different boost levels with a push of a button ( I have 6 different boost options ) go with a turbo.
