Magna Charger Worth Puting On A 408ci

I Have A 2004 Chevy Truck With A Forged 408. The Motor Is Out Of The Truck And Im Trying To Figer Out Away I Can Get It Down The Track Quicker... And Was Thinking About Puting Low Compression Pistons Set Up For Boost & Nos...
I Have Afr 225/65
And I Will Have Patrick G Spec. Me A Cam For What Every Cobo I Go With.
I No Tq Is Where Its Out With My Truck..

What Im On Shure Of Is .. Will It Be Worth The Gane.. Will I See A Big Diff. In Performance... If Just A Little Gane... Does Magna Charger Make A Superchager That Put Out Big Boost? And For 5 Or 6 Grand I M Going To Spend On It.. I Can Get A Lsx Block And Get More Ci.

Any Good Opions Or Recomendations ?
Thanks
Josh

IM not to sure of the MagnaCharger line of blowers but Kenne Bell and Whipple have some nice superchargers out there for the Lsx motors. Have you thought about going turbo though? Those will make some really nice numbers if spec'd correctly with motor and turbo size. Plus it might get you down faster. It really depends on what you want out of the truck.

If superchargers are what your into I am very happy with my 408 with a D1SC on it.

If you are not setup F/I already, doing a F/I setup out of the sponsers will break 5-6K budget. Just for their base kits.

What kind of truck is it for? IF its faster ET's you want I would go Nitrous for that kind of money it could be done very well and get you what you want at the track.
