That said, I would rather see you get a turbo.

if its strictly between a kenne bell and a turbo, I'd get a Radix

IMO. If you only have $5k to spend get the kenne bell, and do a custom front mount air-air intercooler, custom tune.

Sometimes what we think is a lack of data is actually good, quality information.

In other words, perhaps the lack of KB users is telling you something.

get yourself an STS kit, build your truck platform around it, then boost the hell out of it until your satsified with your spendings!! The S chargers can only give out so much psi then your done!! Not bagging on them though, if you were gonna stop there then id say charge it if you want to blow the door hinges off of most anything on the street then get the turbo

My KB has been OK. You will definitely have to get a custom tune. The kit should come with the 42lb injectors, CAI.

Good luck.

A agree! Sounds like you are getting a deal that may be hard to pass up, however if price wasn't an object I'd definitely go turbo.
