Turbos or Supercharge?

I'd say turbo less strain on the motor more power per lb of boost and you can run more boost out of them. If you are worried about lag use a smaller turbo. If you want more power use two small turbos. A S/C may take you off the line but by the time you shift to third gear he will see nothing but tail light.

You need to take into account the powerband of these trucks, man. They are big, heavy, and generally pretty damn slow. Getting a 6500lb SUV up and going is a tough task, one that is made even more difficult when you take turbo lag into account. You trade off max horsepower for quicker spool up when you switch to a smaller turbo (or turbos), so really what is the difference? I'd rather have the immidiate low end grunt. A supercharger makes better power in the lower RPM range to get these things moving...and with the right tune (cough cough JENNA and JUSTIN cough cough) the torque curve is flat enough that I highly doubt you'd get walked once you shift into 3rd.

Not saying turbos are slow by any stretch, those STS kits are wicked on the Silverados....I just think that a s/c is better suited to the SUV crowd.
