I would look into a roots type supercharger rather than a centrifugal supercharger for power down low help. Manga charger would get my vote.

I installed a TVS 1900 in May and have ZERO complaints! It's pretty sweet to just lay in it on the interstate and pass people without having to downshift, or pull a steep hill, the truck is just overall fun to drive now. Fuel mileage is also unaffected on the interstate while cruising at 70, so you don't have to worry about killing your fuel mileage, and if you stay out of boost while in town that will stay the same for the most part, but who wants to do that. The magnusen kit is proven and easy to install, definitely gets my vote.

My 13' rcsb 4x4/5.3/6A gets an average of 16.5mpg. TVS1900 and Kook's longtubes with cats. That's with an extremely heavy foot, I usually make quite a few wot pulls on the highway just going to and from work
and now that I think about it, some of that average even has some track passes factored in to it haha!
