Default Chevy 4.8 V8, turbo or pro charger?

I have a 2013 single cab and Im looking to do a cam, convertor, headers and tune. Not sure if I should go with a turbo, if so what size or a pro charger system. Still wanting to use it as my daily driver. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks!

Well to start off... What are your HP goals? IMO a nice midsize turbo will be nice. Depends on what size stall and cam you go with.

Turbo but I'm bias.

Your power goals are very doable. But you need to look at what you use your your truck for.
It will change which kit you would need.
Hot rodding fun ,
Pulling heavy trailer loads
Those are different builds.

Hauling my motocross bike to the track is about the extent of my hauling.

You'll be hard pressed to find someone on here that tells you procharger, even though its much better in your application.

Take a look at the above link, I have a lot of information there that might help you out. Give me a call for a much lower price than I can put into print, and if you want to see a copy of the installation instructions, send me an e-mail to brutespeed@gmail.com requesting them, and I'll e-mail them back to you. Thanks. Bob
