do it yourself it is just bolts. and now a day you can rent special tools for auto parts stores. 

I say procharger is better and turbo best. whipple is ok but lowest on the list.

Yes but look and the specs the D1 is a better unit by far. I had the D1 as my first supercharger. I would look more to the 500-525 hp setup.

Not saying he didn't have better weather and or traction.  It's not like he's sell HPtuner or anything.  He is just stating his facts.

 

If you you think Diablo is just as good as HPtuner then

I didn’t say diablo was better and in no way whatsoever implied that. 

 

If you believe he lost a whole second in eta simply from a tune then cough* you’re a moron cough*.

It isn't impossible to shave a second off with tune when we are talking a higher time like this. But I would guess air tires down or heated up better or better track prep. Need to now the other numbers like 60foot or better yet trap speed to see if there was more in it.
We had stock everything camaros with tires, catbacks,tunes that could get very impressive with gains. Then a hidden shot of nitrous and that car was hars to beat on the streets. But again stock with a 175-200 shot was good power. If it hooked it worked.

I have had both a whipple n a Procharger. The pro charger was on a 2015 n the whipple on my 2016 both with the 5.3 even though the 5.3 is long gone in my 2016 now.  If you are looking for reliability it’s hard to beat either. Had my Procharger for 60000 no prob n have had the whipple for 80000 on 2 motors n on both all I did was change oil. If you tow and just want to add power without adding additional mods the whipple is the way to go in my opinion. Great low end torque and the difference in heat is negligible even towing heavy loads up hill. Not disagreeing with anyone here but if you are looking for the simplest option whipple is a good bet.  Saw 530 to tires on 8lbs.

The heat difference is on the inlet air the iat temp on the whipple is very high. The comparison between a air to air front mount huge intercooler over a "brick" air to water that is unter the charger in the case of the lower intake. Ask any tuner and he will tell you. This is also why you see the all those chargers have ice bags on them at the track.
Both are good. Pro charger is better. I had one of the very first D1 and later F series. They where good but even back then many new turbos where the future. As we see now.

try adding the sprint booster v3 for GM trucks, it shaves off a full second on 1/4 mile times , from what others have posted on youtube vids . it's only $300. 

As slow1500 says, turbos are the way. just order a cheapo chinese unit off ebay and have a muffler shop rig it up near the muffler.  then get it tuned. probaly cost you $1500

Let's hope you are joking.  A pedal commander will do nothing for acceleration.

this is from users who did track testing on YT videos with pedal commander, the stock throttle really cuts into the power output, along with disabling Traction control and stabilatrack, these also cut your throttle so, it is possible to loose a full second in the quarter  just to the power robbin governing effect of all these features that come on the truck. i dont have access to a track so cant say . but I really like the "SB V3.0" .  once you learn how to use it in stop and go traffic, and then out on the highway you actually appreciate the factory dead throttle response when entering V4 mode,  the factory throttle is great for fuel economy. 

then the sport mode and race mode is so linear  and even slightly exponetial on the throttle curve. its fun in traffic and when on mountain roads, but you really notice the MPG drop like crazy when using a SPrint booster. this is the best thing to buy if you dont want to void your warrantee with a flash tune.

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By StingerZ16 · Posted

      I started with a folding cover by BAK PAC on my 2500. It went bad after close to 5 years. Bent and vinyl coming loose. Contacted BAK and they gave me a very good discount on a Revolver. Had it a number of years. Mostly outdoor storage. Some garage storage. Vinyl started to come loose. Still under warranty so they replaced to cover. Sold the 2500, bought the 1500 and got another revolver for it. Had it a couple years now and no issues. I store it indoors. Got a bit of discount when buying it as well. If you are seeing problems, contact BAK or real truck and let them know. Customer service was pretty good. But I think they changed their warranty.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.
