Wait till you need to stop on a dime cause some soccer mom pulls out in front of you... you will wish you had upgraded them

Most of your stopping power is from the front.

I think it's pretty common with anything with wheels to the ground. Applying the front brakes puts more down force on the tires and provides better stopping power. I always remembered the rule of thumb on my motorcycle I owned was 70/30 when applying the brakes.


My truck will soon be supercharged (Procharger kit will be delivered tomorrow). I know nothing about turbos so don't have much of an answer for you. There is a good write up though that is a sticky that might help ya out. Explains all the kits out there and the pros and cons

They say if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all, so I will keep mouth shut, like the White/Black combo though. BTW, go FM Turbo, you won't regret it...
