Like whitt1 said A Radix Magnacharger or a STS Turbo setup is probably a better setup for the street. I ordered the STS Turbo, should be in next week, I can't wait

I've seen so many cars (especially Foxbody Stangs) where the engine compartment wiring was just brittle and trashed from the heat of those hair dryers.
The STS Turbo is mounted at the rear of the truck so the engine compartment doesn't heat up. Check out web site www.ststurbo.com

my buddie has a 2000 chevy ext 4 wheel drive on 36s with a 6.0 forged pistons and good set of heads and a cam with a procharger F1 @ 15lbs of boost and you step on it going 40mph and the truck breaks the 36inch swampers loose and the whole truck kicks sideways. He maxes out the mass a 3600rpms. if you want to drive down to fresno he'll give you a ride in it and you'll be set on procharger after that.

THEY MAKE AN EXTENSION THAT BRINGS IT UP IN THE FENDER WELL.
