I know dodge is compatible with procharger.... but I am a huge fan of the whipple supercharger line any one got any ideas as to if they are going to make a compatible whipple for the 5.7

 

Kennebell is making a 2.2L for the 5.7L capable of over 500hp with the 03hemi's. No supporting numbers yet for the 06+ 5.7L nor any anticipated arrivals.

 

i'm not too sure....why you so interested in a s/c???ever thought bout doin a turbo??? i know i was always the one sayin that s/c belong on v8's and turbo's on diesels and little 4 bangers....but i've really turned on that and starting to believe that turbos are the way to go....bad thing with the s/c is it takes hp to make hp, turbo just goes with the "flow"

 

The twinscrews don't use up as much HP as other s/c'ers but there's nothing like power that's instant vs turbo lag. The bigger the turbo, the more lag from spooling.

 

Ever driven a turbocharged v8? A properly sized turbo will make more boost sooner in the rpm range than any supercharger.

 

agreed, but then those turbos that are tuned to kick in low end run out top end.

best solution: twin turbo in series

 

Yes I have. No descent size Turbo can spool up max HP potential by 1800rpms as a Twinscrew can accomplish and maintain that through the entire rpm range.
For the average street driven truck maniac, a twinscrew is by far the better solution. For driveability and cost effective solution. A nice Twin Turbo kit can run $8/9+k
Twinscrew kit can run a few thousand cheaper.

 

You are abosluely right, 99% of the people on here (you included) will be much happier with a roots type blower. Please tell me why I need "Max Hp" at 1800 rpms? You could build a very nice remote or mid mount type turbo kit for less than any supercharger kit on the market designed for our trucks.

 

hmmm...i still think i'd rather go with a turbo over a s/c....always loved s/c and i always will...personally i think a turbo is the best way to go, but to each their own just my opinion....twin turbo makes me happy lol

 

You don't need two turbos to make serious power and still have decent spooling characteristics.
