Default Boosted 4.8

Hello all, I have a 2000 regular cab short bed 4x4 Silverado with the 4.8, currently have long tubes and a tune on it. I heard the 4.8s love boost, I’ve been looking at the torquestorm supercharger kit recently and wanted to dig deeper into it. Is it really worth it? I just wanted to get a little more information on it with a 4.8/5.3, and some reviews. The truck is my daily driver, I want a little more power to have some fun.

Bolt it on and go.
You will need fuel injectors and fuel pump as well to be able to support the extra power tho.

For only 450 wheel these would be fine.

But nobody is ever satisfied and then they want more and more power.

So go ahead and use these for more headroom in the future.

Flex-Fuel injectors from an L59 (example: Tahoe 5.3 liter 2002 - 2004 ) will get you to 500 flywheel hp on gasoline.
