Supercharger

[black on black]

I have a 04 5.3 Silverado with only 38000 miles on it and I'm wanting to buy a charger to put on it. Any body have any opinions on which kind would be best or should I just try and find a jow gibbs take off supercharger. I have some buddies who work at salvaged who could get their hands on one I bet.

There's a few guys on here who have done superchargers on their trucks. A search should bring up the threads. Some makes to look at are Whipple, MagaCharger, ProCharger, amongst others.

if you get a supercharger youll most likely need to replace your tranny. I'm not saying you'll need to. But if you use the power thats the supercharger gives you, you will that stock tranny wont hold up for long. PM jennabear if you want to hear about how her radix install went.

I want to say ProCharger as I ran a F1 on my race car any was very happy then went turbos.

 

But MagnaCharger is the best IMO. they made a TBSS with 9**hp. and with the new internal bypass. You get down low power.

 

I would buy a Magna for my street car but my turbos spool at 2500-3000 and max out power at 900rwhp. 348ci on 9:1 LS6 type block.

Thanks guys for all the input, Yea I have a couple of tranny guys here that could build mine up for me. and not charge me a whole lot.

Thanks on the comment about the truck to man, Im not near done with it yet but its a good start but black is just damn hard to keep clean!!!!

O'rly? Turbos? Spooling up 3K? What are you running, if I may ask. Trim, a/r?

take a look into SLP's kit, I've seen that it's been out for a couple months now. Might be more pricey, but it's a complete kit. It features an eaton supercharger, capable of running 9 lbs of boost, intercooler, new fueling hardware, and a tune to adjust the PCM along with everything else needed. Supposedly makes 460 HP with 460 ft lbs of torque.

 

+1 about needing to beef up the tranny if you want to utilize that new found power.

We have Magnachargers (112) on both the Tahoe and Silverado SS, a TVS will be going on the TBSS soon as well. What can I say, we love them!! There are quite a few deals on the Radix's as they change over to TVSs, just saw one on performancetrucks.net for $2750 shipped.
