I think Kenne Bell makes a nice kit for under $4000. But, I think almost everyone agrees that the radix is the top-dog right now. I'm curious to see what the Whipple/Intercooler kit is going to be like in a few months.

Go for a Procharger and a Yank 3000rpm stall. That'd make a nice combo for sure.

if you get the Kenne Bell expect to be down installing it for about a week. they make you send them your ECM for them to program it then they send it back. Unleess you have a duplicate ECM your truck is parked for at least a week. thats on top of their crappy customer service. I was considering one before I got my RADIX , when I finally got through it was like they were doing me a really big favor answering my questions about the system, thats where I found out that You need to send them you ECM (shipping is also additional to the S/C kit cost. my .02

Here are some types and general price ranges for you:

Whipple ~$4k
Procharger ~4.5k
Powerdyne ~3.2k
Vortech ~3.5k
KenneBell ~4.5k
Magnacharger ~$4k
Magnacharger ~$5k (Radix style)

Arizona Speed & Marine has some with good pricing, Tbyrne also has just about all of them to choose from.

After seeing both the Radix and the Whipple kits, and driving both............I would get the Radix, hands down the best kit on the market today.
