Default hp issues... need advice

guys.
i just ran into an issue with my build... i started this project wanting a 1000 rwhp truck that was a sleeper... the more stock looking the better.. well i built my motor and trans for a f2 procharger by there specs. i have recenetly found out that this procharger is in no way shape or forum for sleeper vehicles. it is loud and not mistakable. if i go with there ds series which is still quiet i am limited to around 700ish rwhp..

Do yall know of another way i can 1000 hp while still being a sleeper...... what other superchargers will give me the hp and remian quite at idle... i have been thinking about turbos but i dont really want the issues related to turbos.. what options do i have...

Not much, just about anything that moves enough air to make that much power other than a turbo is gonna be noisy.

Turbo's are pretty reliable, just ask any truck driver on the road. They run 24hrs A day on our compressor engines at work and generally outlive the engine. The only failure we have had with a turbo was due to an oil supply line coming loose.

Anything besides a turbo wont give you what you want though...unless you want to hit it with a 500 shot.

I'm not aware of any particular 'turbo-related' issues.
