Default FI kit for 496 (8.1L)?

Does anyone know if there is a forced induction kit, supercharger or turbocharger, that can be purchased for the 8.1L in the 01-06 HD pickups? I've been looking around to no avail. Anyone know of anything?

The whipple kit actually uses the smaller 2.2-2.3?L blower. There are a couple guys over on www.performancetrucks.net that have them.

Ask this same question over in the Forced Induction section there, your user account from here works.

sts, I dont know if they alread make a kit but you can always go for the 6.0 kit, with a bigger turbo and intake pipe..............well then I guess thats a custom install and not really a kit. My response may be worthless.

You're almost gonna need a thumper sized turbo for that motor, or an F2 procharger at the very least for a blower.
