A supercharger is a waste of time on such a small displacement engine. Look up Richard Holdener on youtube and watch his supercharger vs turbo video. I have a stroked 5.3 with a procharger f1a and i wish i went with an ls3 or turbo instead.
I've made 600 to the wheels on 3 different 4.8s now on stock long block with cam/springs and cheap china turbos.
Turbo is definitely the way to go on a 4.8.
How much boost was u running and single or twine I’m not agent’s a turbo it would be cheaper it looks like just really ain’t done much research on them
This is a 5.3 with forged pistons, rods, 4” forged crank, tick blower cam, procharger F1-a, cnc’d afr 205’s on 11lbs and pump gas. This is through a T56 magnum and ford 8.8 irs. Tuner could only run it to 6,000 because the boost was gonna go to 13-15lbs and that was too much for pump.

sounds like a nice set up good # too I can see what ur talking about on wishing u when with a turbo tho still like them tq # down low tho
Well I’m stating to like the sound of turbo looks to be better and cheaper for the most part plus I found a nice looking kit that fits my truck y’all got any thoughts on it
Whats your power goal?
Do you need duals or would a single work.. ??
goal was 5 to 6 to the wheels but considering the v-7 supercharger was going to run me over 6k an this kit will run me around 4k I’d like to see more but with this kit it’s made to fit good and more for later on I hope
I would avoid the CX racing kit like the plague and get something from Huron Speed.

Single, Twin, and Quad turbo setups.
To make 600 at the wheels, the single was on 13 PSI, twins were on 15 PSI, and quads were on 11 PSI.
All on stock 4.8s with just a cam at this power level. Some of them went must more extreme afterwards.
The single setup went high 8s at 29 PSI.
The twin setup went mid 10s at 3500 lbs with a T56 at 15 PSI.
The quad setup went 5.80s in the 1/8th at 15 PSI with a poor 1.40 60'.

how long did the single set up last on a stock 4.8 just wondering if I should upgrade anything on the motor I found a 78/75 turbo set up that I think will fit good
