If I'm going to considering a turbo setup in the future on a heavy truck, I need to know that it will perform well on a daily driver like mine. 99 percent of my driving is going back and forth to work; alot of city driving too. The Kenne Bell, so far for me, produces alot of power from a start without having to rev the engine over 2500-3000 rpm. I do a fair amount of towing 6500-7000# worth of horses and trailer - from a start to the speed limit I've got tons of power. I honestly like your setup, I just need to see how your setup would truly work on my type of truck. I do believe if I were putting together a race only truck, I'd look to you turbo system for top end performance. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more installs with a wider variety of trucks.

I agree, and I think this will happen given time.
I have a video (from 1999) of my '98 (NO BLOWER) running within .001 second of a KB blown extended cab 4.6. He had me by less than a fender length! I would have expected the blower to at least make up for the additional weight. Ran dead on with a stock 5.4 4x4 too.
