Question Supercharger,Turbo or Stroker
I'm thinking out the next step on the wifes truck It's down to these.

STS Turbo with intercooler

Magnacharger -polished for the pimpness

Procharger P1-1 -polished for HP and pimpness

408ci Stroker,AFR's,mild Cam

I figure all of these would be around 450rwhp (from 210rwhp).

Can you tell I'm bored today

Whichever way you go that will be one SOM truck! Oh yeah I think you forgot to list some dub spinners.

Thats a baby

If it was my truck I would run a Turbo'd 408 but the wife would kill herself.I'm leaning towards the Procharger or Magnacharger.She just want's to beat the other Avalanches out there

Don I say you should go with the Magna. You saw how much power that thing made on my truck. With the STS you have to worry about the turbo in the rain and show. I think that the Magna or a Procharger are the way to go.

Do not do the magna Don, they cause way to much heat. I have two friends wit them on and they dont run that well. I would say procharger.

No replacement for displacemet... do the 408... when you get bored of the 408.. you could then put on a procharger
