Default what type of FI to go with?

Ive read so much about FI set ups the past couple of days my head is spinning!
I'm currently in the market for some form of forced induction, and am trying to figure out what setup would work the best with the set up I'm running now.
I've got an 06 silverado with a TR224 on 114, ProTorque 3000 stall converter, Performabuilt lvl 2, and 3.73's.
What would be the best set up to run to work well with what I'm running now??

not too sure about your cam, alot of ppl may say a procharger would be a good choice for you. Your cam being on a 114 lsa might help a bit. I know their are better camshaft suited towards a turbo or magnacharger, but others may chime in with their setups.

id say a maggy a procharger needs more stall imo or more gear then you have as far as a turbo i dont know to much about them im more of a supercharger type of person. the cam you have should work fine since its ground on a 114 and not on a 112

Man I am doing a turbo install now and let me tell you it's a head ache you have to have really deep pockets I had to redesign a few things and they usually are not complete I think the only one that is complete is the Nelson performance it is a little under $5000 has really good power potential for later, on the other hand a magnacharger TVS 1900 I think is a really good buy and it is totally ready to go I think it is perfect for the sport truck enthusiast and personally I wouldn't give the centrifigul the time of day really lacking in power from what I have seen and I like procharger's kits!

you bought a relatively unused turbo kit. Your money would have been better spent with Trick or KB you wouldn't be redesigning anything or have any leaks

No I got rid of the leaks and I didn't exactly have $6-7000 for a turbo kit my kit was under $4000 then with fuel sytem and guages and wide band 02 it was right at $5000 I am redoing the intercooler tubing right now because I moved it behind the SS bumper I installed and what I was saying for simplicity I think the TVS 1900 is the way to go!

Is there one that you'd rather do Jesse? (turbo vs. blower)

You get what you pay for. The 1900 kit is 6k.
