another thing about nitrous is that you have different trucks in 1..you can run with or with out nitrous.. but you can do the same thing with a a boost contoller...yes if i had the money to fork out I'd definantly go twin turbo'd

Sorry, I disagree with you...
400 + 3600 = 4000 bucks, you can find a nice used supercharger system or even a used STS for that matter and make the same power or more, and keep on going after the 90 bottles are empty. I read about alot of trucks making good power with FI, Nitrous is just not my bag baby.
