I would like to have a turbo on my truck or a supercharger. I would have fun running the corvettes off the road.

Lol I was just messing with ya md ram! In all seriousness though, the best power adders for our trucks so far are turbos and not super chargers. That may all change as soon as the KB is out though.

( REMEMBER THERE IS ONLY ONE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THE CAR!!!!!).
ya its called sequential turbos. one runs at all times in the low end of the rpm range and the other one comes in about half way through the rpms for max power. turbo one feeds into turbo 2 etc.. its still more piping and work then the out come would prob. be worth. the limiting factor becomes your wallet and the amazingly strong tranny and engine block (sarcasm) of the truck. the cost of two turbos vs one is another. if you have the money go for it ( post some pics)

What brand are you coming from? I know most chevy guys run superchargers and the really fast lightning guys are dumping the supercharger and sticking a turbo on. I also think we will see more performance from superchargers in due time as these are still new motors and only really one company has taken a stab at it and they didn't do a very good job. As I said though, the KB supercharger will be whole different animal.

Mdram, you got to do some research. Nobody makes a supercharger that makes any where near the power of the turbos.

KB may have something coming, but we'll see.

Whatever you are reading is from uninformed guys with opinions like your own.

And, please;

Tell us why you think a supercharger is better for our hemi's. Oh yeah, please provide numbers, not jut opinions.
