Just think how hard it would be to hook a radix blown 6.0 with TT3000 and 3.90 gears in a 2wd single cab!!!!!????
I think a procharger would probably be better for my application.
Yeah, the fact that you're already pulling a 1.72 60' will really help the major downfall of the procharger.

I don't know how you 2wd guys can stand running on street tires. My truck would probably run 1.5 seconds slower if I had to run in 2wd.

Correction-1.72 was with the 2800 PI. I'm currently doing 1.8's with the TT3000.

With a TT3000 you will probably be right whee the ATI starts making serious boost, so street traction may still be a problem. Guess it depends on what pulley/boost you are going with.
