Default Torqstorm Superchargers

Well my Circle D stall goes in on the 13th and already looking for the next mod. I am thinking of going with a Torqstorm Supercharger. It is a local company in Michigan not far from where I live. Look to be very nice kits, limited lifetime warranty and the kits are 2800 dollars. They are not inter-cooled but they do come with a water/meth bung. For the price seems like a great deal. Just curious if anyone has used their superchargers before?

Looks like a lot of LS swaps use them on their site. They make a twin supercharger kit for GM, Ford and Dodge motors as well.

The break down of the unit, and their twin supercharger kit for LS motors. Refreshed 2014+ truck kit should be out soon.

I'm still waiting on the redesigned 99-06/07 and the 07-13 kits to come out and pricing. Few other guys with older trucks are considering buying as well.

Here is a video a customer Casey West sent us of our system on his 2015. This is Not the revised system. The new setup will have the updated automatic tensioner.
"I have a cleaner pic of the engine bay i can send later lol but the unit is pretty tough I drive 90+ miles a day and I also use this as a farm truck that's why it's so dirty" says Casey

Thanks for the video. Definitely interested in the kit when it comes out. Hopefully it will help me get that time slip in the 12s.

Hey That's me,.Hate my Truck for a bunch of reasons but my setup on my SVE supercharger power comes in @ 3000 rpm and really feels good at 5200 rpm but for me, I would have liked a twin-screw Whipple, I would rather have the power down low not up high but that's just my opinion. I don't have the V4 mode disabled so I hate that it mostly in that mode for some reason and truck feels like **** like this. I Don't feel the Trans or Diff will last long with hard pulls as well. Everybody wants the power but mainly understand should have a lot of mods to cope with the power properly. haven't been getting terrible gas mileage about 16L per 100km with regular driving. wasn't using the truck much in about two months with remote start and 100km a week short drives were getting terrible gas mileage 33L per 100km. just some personal first-hand info on my set up so far. For me, its been a lot of problems in a short period of ownership with the K2 platform common things, but I feel like these trucks dropped quality and have made me think of changing brands but everybody the same when I really look around.
