    what year? I've heard for the newer cobras and gt's the kenne bell is the way to go. I'm saving up to hopefully put one on my silverado.

    WHIPPLE and KB are both good. If you get the whipple get the tuner version wih the intercooler.

    Check out Trick's turbo, it makes a lot of power and the torque is amazing, which is what your truck needs, the torque.

    After that, Radix would by my second choice for lowend grunt.

    You'll get a lot of opinions, but go with the one that suits your driving style and truck use.

    later,

    A KB or a Paxton for the Stang and a Radix for your truck. Whipple is also a good bet for you, but an intercooler is a must have--the standard Whipple does not come with a intercooler where a Radix does. Don't forget a meth kit...

    i have tried both a positive displacement and a centrifugal and i love the centrifugal better. my sub has a magnacharger, its not intercooled, but i am running 50/50 meth kit, and my silverado has a intercooled procharger. even though the blowers are known for their low end grunt, i tell you no lies, i can not get my silvy to hook when i nail the gas. and it feels like a sling shot, the higher it revs the more it pulls. and its funner to let people think they got you then blow past them like a freight train

    If I started fresh I would go turbo.
    I wish trick setup was available when I bought the super charger.
    It is the worst pain in the but to change the oil in the supercharger or injectors. Thats why I said earlier get the tuner kit from whipple, Much easier to install, work on later, add oil to engine, change oil in supercharger. etc etc etc
