SC is nice cause it is always there, you don't have to refill it or turn it on. I've heard from a couple of guys that have a SC that it increased their gas milage too!

Yeah but those Aux injectors suck w/ the Whipple. Why not get a used 6.0 and get a mild cam w/ ported heads?

Ditch those Aux injectors and get bigger injectors and some tuning!

I agree, supercharger hands down. It makes for more fun anytime, not just when you hit the button!

I've heard enough tuning nightmares with these trucks and s/c's thats its to the point i'd actually probably go nitrous and stall. That with some tires and youre lookin at better times than if you were running boost. You can knock hours of tuning (not to mention headaches) and dont have to worry about new injectors.

You can tell it was my original plan (screenname), but well, $$$$.......a year and a half ago I was VERY close to tradin my new NX kit for a used blower....but, things didnt go through.....turned out for the better in the long run, cuz now im just broke.

At this point Id like to keep my eye on that Cmotorsports turbo kit...... Might be in the works in the near future

(3-4 years)

Another thing to think about in my eyes is the drag or load of a sc all the time, where as the N20 is when you want/need it. Thats my thoughts on it. I love N20, something about the instant hp kicks ***.
