I guess not. lol

I've thought about gettin a supercharger too but seeing as how theres like none out there and if you do find one its probally gonna be horribly overpriced. I dont know does anyone know if it would be worth getting on a V6?

I think there is a post on here somewhere about someone making a supercharger and I think it helped him alot. Haven't heard about a company making one though. I've only had my truck 3 weeks though so I haven't been on here too long.

Yeah it will be hard to find some for your trucks as I have talked to a few guys with 4.7's that are having problems finding them. Try the universal kit from STS for their turbo. They can make you a custom kit with the same turbo they put in the hemis (I think) What's the point for the turbo or supercharger? are you wanting a truck for the drag strip? or just something with a little more power? I might as well say it before someone else jumps in and says it. Why didn't you get the hemi?

I called around here and a supa charger was about 2 grand. Not worth it on a V6, IMHO.

Well, In my case, I got a $1200.00 rebate for getting the V-6. The Hemi was a $1100.00 option. Thats $2300.00 saved. Hemi is sonething like 340hp right??? Hmmmm, Insurance company sees "V-6" Truck SOUNDS like a V-6, V-6 engine is much lighter in weight so the hp/lbs ratio would be better. I wonder what kind of hp gain you would get with the $2k supra charger. Mayby all of those supercharged V-6 Mustang guys are not really nuts afterall !!!

just so you know.... you buy the v6 version, you plant in a hemi putting out a million hp's or whatever, they're still going to charge you for having a v6, nice thing about swapping motors, same deal with my s10, i've got a 383 in it, vin says it's a v6, i get charage for what the vin says

my .02 is, don't waste your time with small stuff, spend the money, get the bigger motor if you're not 100% satisfied

yeah it be nice to be able to swap motors, but think of all the crap you'd have to go through and by for that!!! I mean youd probally spend as much money just gettin it to fit as it would take to but a whole new truck!!! lol

Default I have the same question as well.

I am looking into the same topic. My reason why I am looking into this is that I lose power very quickly when pulling a load, especially going uphill. And before I get any other comment, yes I probably should have found a 4.7 L V-8. With all the modern vehicles coming out, a lot of makers put in smaller motors but are backed up with a turbo or super charger. With my truck I haven't found much. I did find a couple of things that showed a universal turbo being connected but no supers. I'm still looking for a solution myself.
