Well I was outside adding stickers to my truck to squeeze some extra horses out of her and i got to thinking. Trick has a good deal on a turbo system but I dont know if it will fit.

Tell me what you guys think.

I planned on a kenne bell for the vette. Would the turbo be better for towing?
Thats all the truck does is tow. the kenne bell system is about $1800 more than tricks lowmount kit

I would do a top mount supercharger for towing like the radix. Just alot better for towing and heat disappation. all out horsepower then a turbo is the way to go.

The turbo is the ideal choice (IMO) for towing. The boost will always be there with the extra load of a trailer and the IATs are easier to manage with a large intercooler. There may be a few considerations to manage heat under the hood though.
