supercharger or turbo

[CrazyJesster]

well i have an 01 z71 and for some reason mustangs like to pick on me. why i dont know i usualy anser with ok lets. go over here to this parkinglot and i have a chain. and we can hook them up an see what happens. or ill say ok lets go to the lake to the mudholes. they say its pointless an i say well its pointless a pick up racing a stang.

i guess they just hate chevys i dunno

anyway whould an 01 z71 156k miles still runs like a top. whould it be wise to add a turbo or supercharger to this 5.3liter. or what whould be some small wise performance ideas ?

I use these, very complete & easy to install http://www.magnacharger.com/sc-gmtrucksuv.htm

If it were me i whould ignore the sissys in mustangs

fu** the mustangs, next time tell them REAL men drive trucks.

GMPP has a supercharger kit for the truck.. I go with that. The turbo will be more involved to install.

I hate Mustang drivers. I love when they want to mess with me in my Talon, and I spin all 4 tires, that shuts then up quick.

where can i find this gmpp kit so i can look at the price

150,000mi. +, I'd be watching your trans and rear-end, esp. if you start adding power adders now in it's life.

well, there goes more budget for boost, since most cold air-intakes are not compatible with boost set-ups without at least some custom fab work.

ill just put back for a supercharger i guess then

No, what I'm saying is if you want boost, go for boost! Unless somehow you have $250+ dollars that are just disposable right now for an expensive air-intake tube and filter, and that money will simply regrow later when you actually want to put on a supercharger/turbo.

A CAI alone is NOT going to help you at all against any sort of threat from a sports car or even most passenger cars.

haha, well alright, sure, go ahead then! The mustang drivers will surely know to back off then.

I want frame rails that are completely boxed too.



seriously though, were you joking? Why did you start this thread?

[CrazyJesster]

i just added that i wanted that

but i stratd this this post because i was trying to see what might be better in performance and price wise

a turbo or supercharger

so i can save up to do get the item

and i added the above post about the gage cluster because they look sharp in my eyes
i have a black truck and the inside is black and grey an i thin it whould look nice i have many mods i want to do to the pick up including a supercharger or turbo

[CrazyJesster]

and i do not know much about turbos or superchargers so forgive me

and no need for some cute remarks

[ShredSled]

sound cool.

Yep, a lot of stuff I want to do to my truck too!

[CrazyJesster]

hahaha, gimme a break! "just because my dreams can't be broughtin true"!?
I think you've got me wrong bud, wasn't "shooting him down" either, just trying to make one realize where they were headed was not in the direction of the original posts intent.
Blue guages have absolutely NOTHING to do with the topic at hand, regardless if the original poster wants them or not! I was attempting to help there, but he wasn't even talking about a supercharger anymore at that point, that's why I couldn't help myself but laugh. Can't you see that?






And yes, CrazyJesster, yes, the Magnacharger is probably one of the more popular and successful superchargers out there. Their older version, the Radix/MP122 is much more common, and probably easier to find in the used market. But the newer and updated TVS series, which you'll want to look at the smaller 1900, will have much better efficiency compared to the Radix.
And as far as buying used, that's all up to you! You have to be able to judge the condition and completeness of the package you are purchasing. Experience could either be bad or good, but it could potentially save you a lot of cash!
New TVS is not cheap.
