I'm still trying to figure out what type of FI to go with on my 2011 6.2L GMC Sierra 4wd Crew Cab! I know that I don't want to go with a centrifugal blower if nothing more than wanting to try something new. I already have D-1SC on my WS.6.
I've been seriously looking at a TVS2300 and then I ran across the Trick Stage 5 turbo kit and even their twin turbo kit. I'm trying to get an idea of the power curve, street manners, power output, reliability, ect... Most likely, I will never build the bottom end but it is still a slight possibility. I will probably just be bolt on a supercharger/headers or a turbo kit, run 9-10 psi and call it a day. I'll only see the track a few times and tow a 22ft boat a few miles every other week. I'm really looking for a reliable and fun street truck from stoplight to stoplight.
Let me know what you think.

I'm going to do the same thing I guess. I've had a (bastard) turbo and loved it. STS came right off when I got rid of the '07 and has been in storage. It had a great 3500-6500 power band but I think I would like to try a Charger this time. I'm thinking Whipple 2.9 though because of supposed lower IATs, lower cost and more boost and power on the kit as delivered if you can believe the dyno #s. I'm talking '14 5.3 though. If I don't find a buyer for the STS kit I'll probably just put it on this one lol. There is probably not a wrong choice for you.

For what you want the TVS is a hands down winner... the turbo kit has the ability to take you further than the TVS does, but it doesnt sound like that is a priority at all at this point.
