Would you buy a vortech supercharger for an ecsb 4x4?

Depends on which turbo... it gives you lots of options..
I do know the S475 doesnt feel like it make as much power at 5-6psi at 2000rpm than the rear mount 60mm i use to run. But it still gets gone towing a trailer.
I think something like a S368 (i think thats the one) would be awesome for a low boost 5.3 setup like yours.

So if I could reach those goals with a turbo setup then I'm all ears too.
@ mud slinger . His stall is a 3000 and yeah up here in colorado the elevation sucks so realistically he hasn't ran his truck at the track but were guessing its somewere in the 14s to 13s up here so at sea level it'd be a second less. But for being charged that's kinda dissapointing another buddy of ours went 12s with less on a d1procharger
How much?

Would a smaller turbo give me more low end torque than a vortech or procharger?
Looking for a 13 second DD with about 450hp. And eventually be lifted on 35s.
Trying to go FI and reach my goals for around $2-2500. Think it's possible?

$2500 would be a bare bones non-intercooled turbo setup. Wouldn't do it personally. That's not including injectors, fuel upgrades, tuning, etc.
You can't beat a supercharger for an install and go setup. If you really just want 450 rwhp and monster low end, I'd find a used Radix cheap and call it a day.

I already have a tune, and I can get a retune for free. No matter what FI I got with I'm going to need injectors and fuel upgrades, so there really is no point in bringing those up.
So does this seem like a good deal or should I continue to wait and hope to find a roots blower used for around $2k, because I really don't want to sink a whole lot more than that into this truck.

Well I tried to jump on the vortech bandwagon but no one is supporting that decision.
I need to see a dyno graph of a centi blower, roots, and turbo. On a bolton 5.3 to see what I want. Or find a roots blower for cheap.

Think I'm going to pick this up. I figure it's a hell of a lot more power than I'm making now and about as much as a cam swap would cost, or a 6.0.
Is it a good deal for a v1? Don't know the mileage but will find out.
