i was not giving advice. I am quite sure I didn't give him any info he hasn't known for quite a long time. My point of making the statement was I feel it is a great move. I don't see any reason for supercharging especially on a vehicle you would like to drive on the street occationally.

I love this truck and everything he has done is amazing. But in my eyes I always thought "why not turbo" especially since originally it was supposed to be more street then race.

I guess my original statement should have been simple. " I like the move to turbo" then you wouldn't think I was trying to instruct the guy who has a large budget and great knowledge of what he is doing.

Twin pumps are needed on some applications, but one thing does suck when fuel delivery is an issue; which pump is weak?
Don't have time to search the thread, but what does your fuel system consist of?
Lines, size, config, etc?
At 30psi I'm sure your setup is putting a beating on the fuel system. At your level you can never have enough fuel.
Maybe a mechanical pump might be an option.

Its funny... thats the EXACT reason I did go with a supercharger. I can't say I agree with that starement at all. All said and done I will have gained over 50% more power while maintaining the exact drivability I had before.


Back on topic... I'm sad to hear you're going turbo. I mean turbo's are awesome no doubt about that, but this was something special and unique. Didn't seem like you were lacking any power that's for sure...

And another Procharger build goes down..lol. This is a killer build and I would love to have seen the end results but I am sure the turbo setup will be just as awesome.

You going twins or big single? If I were you I would switch over to a beltdrive pump and ditch those electrics. Your new problem would be too much pressure lol.

Can't wait to see the new build.
