I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado, with the 5.3L. I am thinking about Supercharging it, but i cant decide Between The Kenne Bell or the Magnacharger I would appreciate any opinion or suggestions

 

Most people here will probably tell you to go Radix. Of course that includes me as well

 

Radix due to its completeness, intercooler, and reliability.

 

hard to beat the radix around here especialy for support. does the kb have an intercooler yet?

 

It Says On their web site that an intercooler is coming soon

 

i wouldn't even consider it till they have an intercooler. once they do then maybe.

 

The Kenne Bell intercooled truck kit has been "coming soon" for a awhile now. Their website shows a water/air intercooler adapted to their non-intercooled remote mount (pre intake manifold) kit. However, it could be they are developing the on-manifold kit for the truck that has been released for the C5 Corvette... probably lots of "little details" getting ironed out.

I speculate of course...

Kenne Bells is a pretty complete package, just no I/C yet. I have never been in a truck with either of those chargers installed so i cant say which is better for you. I have the whipple and its very similar to the Kenne bell and i am pleased with it. I would have got the radix kit if they made one for the 8.1L though simply because of the great reviews they get from members here. Call Kenne bell up and tell them you want one, but you want it to be intercooled. See what they say.

 

ask o3sierraslt , he has a Kenne Bell buit had to fab up his own intercooler, It came out top notch but it is extra work you would have to do on your own, I definitley wouldnt have any type of non-intercooled forced induction.
