    The TVS series is great for low/mid range without a substantial amount of heat soak you would see in maggies etc. There are a few guys running Front Mount turbos on 2500s that have seen some good power as well. Great all around daily driving power too.

    You lost me lol. I will admit, I am new to boost myself, but I have a friend who has built a few turbo talons that is willing to help me out if I go this route. Is TVS the actual brand or style of turbo? I have heard of Garret and Borg Warner before.

    I plan on doing this and then staying out of the mud, 8600+lbs is just a little to heavy to go and play with.

    Mostly use it as a towing vehicle, you know use the truck as a truck and still have some fun at the drag track. I am planning on a Nelson tune for sure, and if I am going the supercharger route, I would be looking at building the rest of the engine to support it (ie cam, stall, pistons etc..) as needed.

    Engine wise all you would need is springs lifters and push rods on valvetrain. Add rodbolts for the bottomend.if you want more power a cam would be great. These motors are tough and powerful.
