My 92 Typhoon was real fast with the turbo, as stated it was a small turbo and would spool real good. I just have not seen any turbo trucks out around here except the diesel ones.

assuming proper setups the supercharger should barely take the 1/8 the turbo will kill it after that in the 1/4
If you want something that is gonna grow with your needs for more power and speed get a turbo you can always find ways around the lag issues.
Why do you think parish isnt running a supercharged setup? Why do lightnings switch over to turbo setups? Im hands down getting a turbo better mpg and alot more potential. Ask yourself this how many trucks on here have 600+ rwhp then think about how many are turbo vs sc?
Nothing against supercharged setups they are great for easy bolt on good power gains but if you want something that is gonna ripple pavement you better go turbo.

PS: what up with mods posting about even the possibility of shinanigans thats just like asking for it

No strip clubs around here, although downtown san diego has some quality establishments

I'm sure you have your bases covered.
the simple fact is the vast majority of us won't. Why? $$$$$. Once you start getting over 500rwhp things get real expensive, real fast. Lot's of supporting components need upgraded, internals are starting to get max'd out etc. etc., suspension needs address'd, yada yada yada, dependibility issue's.
Most of us will be at 500rwhp and less.
People can talk smack all day, but in the end, it's how much your willing to spend to go fast that will be the biggest factor. Oh, and patience of course, everyone needs this in spades as projects typically take twice as long to finish once started, some can get fed up, say fu$k it, and throw in the towel before they finish.
Like I said above, I don't see too many 600+rwhp trucks around here, but I might be missing something, so please go to the new GM Dyno Truck List and post those babies up!
