I'm definitely going to put some forced induction on this truck. remote turbo or supercharger. which shall it be? whipple, radix, vortech, or the turbo system? reliability is a factor to me also. I really lean to the supercharger more due to the fact of the diesel I had with it's turbo I never got used to it. i felt like i had to have a crystal ball to know when the power was about to kick in.....don't get me wrong it had power....it's just you pushed the pedal down counted to 2 or 2-1/2 and your off. I don't want another turbo if it's like that on the gas truck also.

 

You are new here so we'll give you a break
The Magnuson TVS is going to give you the ultimate in reliability and instant torque.


wait, you've been here 2 years and you don't know this already

 

tvs or 2.6/2.8 Kenne Bell

 

I vote turbo.

Turbo gives you the most potential, the most efficiency, and everyone always seems to end up with a turbo in the long run anyways. If it's sized properly there shouldn't be much lag if any.

 

If you want a reliable turbo setup, go with a front mount first and be done with it...

 

+1 I vote Maggie also

 

TURBO OR PROCHARGER...both are better than regular blowers IMO

 

^^way to necro there!



if i had to get a s/c, i'd get a TVS system
personally, i'd get a turbo - not a huge one, that'll have your dreaded lag. i'd also get a front-mount, but if you want a rear-mount, i hear good things about the STS kits

 

I would go with a turbo.

 

I've had a Radix (MP112), 76mm turbo, 82mm turbo, and now a TVS2300, and hands down the TVS is giving me the most fun I've ever had in this truck. Turbo may have a higher power potential but you have to run something big that will be laggy, and while a turbo is more efficient the new TVS blower are nipping on the heels of a turbo efficiency map. For my application, I'm looking at about 5-6% lower efficiency with the blower, which is pretty damn close.

I think a TVS1900 would do very well on your setup, or if you're looking for *****-to-the-wall power and higher boost numbers, a TVS2300. The boost and torque on this thing are absolutely instant, and no matter how small of a turbo you go with I can guarantee it won't feel like this does.
