did i miss what truck you have/motor/gears?
SC/ECSB/CCSB
4.8/5.3/6.0
99-07 classic
07-10 GMT900
99-07 classic Front mount is 3500, 200-500 injectors, fuel pump can be 150-250 depending, 250-500 for gauges, 100-400 cam, 80-130 push rods, valve springs can be 200-300 depending what you buy, exhaust work can be costly dependin your area an wants.
07-10 Front Mount is a lil more costlybc not many people have FM for sale
yet. you can get a KB kit an cut the IC side up an fab you own. get a TRICK for about 5k for a complete turbo kit, then gauges, injectors, cam, push rods, valve springs, exhaust again. it can all add up fast...7500 is what i gathered when i was thinking of doing mine.
maggi 112 can be had for 3k+ an all the other bolt on stuff
you can get that complete Roush S/C on ebay for 2800 an it comes with injectors an will work great with your stock FP if you have a 07-10 truck.
TVS1900/2300 are costly...
i have 5800 just in my LSx swap
my 6.2 has 4k tied into it already with the purchase/head work/cam/ lifters/trays/valve springs
gotta pay to play but also need to know your Bank limit an time frame.

haha, just flip a damn coin or get what you can find for the cheapest and best deal. That new roush kit we all bought, i thought damien was all out of them. I don't think they have any more available, do they? if They were 2800 still, i'd jump on that for the price. I doubt you can find anything for that price, and brand spanking new. Up to you though.

If you tow alot then I would suggest a positive displacement supercharger like a Magnacharger TVS. It will provide great bottom end torque and they are very reliable.
Now what size depends on what motor you have is it a 5.3 or a 6.2? What are your plans for down the road. Do you want to keep the motor stock besides the supercharger or are you going to eventually put a stroker in there?
If you dont tow much and just want something to play with turbos are fun. I wouldnt go rear mount if you go that direction. Trick and KBracing both sell nice front mount set ups.
Like it was stated above figure out how much hp you want, what your budget for the mods is, how you are going to use the truck, and how you want the power to come on.

I plan on puting the supercharger or turbo on my 5.3. i have a buddy on my ship that has a magnacharger and said its great and for a supercharger its easier to upgrade what you have vise getting a turbo kit. so as of now im going towards the front mount s/c's but still undecisive on which one..... i dont tow that much but i do tow. i want to have alot of power under the hood and be able to take on any car. My budget for it is saving and if and upgrade is just a lil more id wait till i have enough for the better one so timing is everything but i plan on running this truck till my engine is no longer drivable and put a whole new engine in pref a LS engine so the problem i have is that everyone loves their magnacharger or other front mounts but which one would i get more out of.
