Default Texas Speed Blower Kit

Someone on a different site pointed out TSP has a blower kit advertised for 2014+ 5.3L Trucks for $6,500. :O

Details are sketchy tho. :/

Anyone got the 411 on this?

why do u say that?

Their site does give the option of different pulley sizes, but other than that its pretty vague other then having a "tuner" kit available as well.

its in the ball park with what other superchargers cost, depending on where you buy. heck a tvs1900 msrp's for about 6k for the 14+ trucks anyways. I bet that's what this kit is

I'm sure that's what it is too... I'm not questioning their price as far as how it compares with the market... I'm saying, it's pretty insane to pay that much for a blower setup in general

Actually I put that on there on the other site. TSP is still in the process of moving. So they don't have much time to work on the website. For the new 14 trucks. I was told by the end of this month there should be more products for our trucks and details on the s/c package.

Do you know what blower the kit is based on?

Given that their part number for the kit contains w175ff and the fact that their kits for the GMT 900 trucks used the 140ax Whipple blower, I'd say these new kits use the 175ci/2.9l Whipple blowers.
