I am thinking of either putting a turbo or supercharger on my 6.0l..For Turbos i was looking at either The STS or the Livernois one (http://livernoismotorsports.com/product.phtml?p=495 ...as far as superchargers i was either looking at the whipple or the intercooled kenne bell when it comes out...which type is better ( Turbo or supercharger) as far as performance, safty, and sound...and which company to go with on the choice.

Also what all would need to be added to the engine or drivetrain to hold up to the power? And should I add a new rear end (maybe 4.10?)

thanks for the help!

 

If you dont tow much or it isnt that important, go turbo.

The intercooled KB looks pretty cool, but I have heard very little good things about their service.

 

Your transmission is going to need work or it will crap out quickly.

Also, was there a reason you eliminated the Magnacharger Radix SC from your list or are you not familiar with it? I ask because many on this site have one (me too) and will tell you how good it is.

 

Out of the above I would suggest the livernois kit.

 

Speak of the devil....

 

if you dont want lag go with the livernois kit.. shorter tubes, you do the math

 

i accidently picked sts and didnt see livernois. i would take either though. in my mind turbo lag could actually be a benefit for our traction impared trucks...

 

I picked the Livernois. But the most complete kit you can purchase is the Magnacharger Radix.

 

I would not worry about your rear end's gears if you go to a turbo. 4:10 would probably not work the best for a turbo set-up anyway. Most people here with turbos stick with the stock 3:73 or 3:43 rear gears. An up grade to an Eaton carrier or something similar will be needed though.
I had a peg legger before I did my turbo install and it sucked *** to the extreme, from what I hear the stock G80 is a peoce of junk too. Some have had pretty good luck with it but most have not.

If I had to do it all over again, I'd still go turbo because its actually kind of tame until you put your foot into it. My gas mileage went up some too during freeway driving.
The turbo lag from the STS is negligable, the Livernois should be even less with its placement of the turbo.
The turbo is also a little stealthier untill you hammer it, if that matters to you.

 

Ok if the Magna Radix was a choice how many would choose that over the other choices??

P.s. Is there anyway to add that to the poll??
