Thats the one. Thanks midget.

Freaky: I havent even touched one yet. The closest Ive gotten to one is driving by it in the parking lot. But with two trubos already in there I cant imagine there being a whole lot of extra space.

I remember waiting those few days for the truck to get finished before I could drive it, the days went by way too slow. You're gonna love the new truck!

ha ha, yea i was saving for the Whipple, but this deal came by me that was more of a smarter financial situation then thew Whipple would be..

So wtf? The supercharger compresses the already compressed air from the two turbos?

lol idont care about city, but if it stays the same on highway, that would be great!

not really. I've seen it in the Camaro/Mustang world. obviously, if you play, the MPG goes down. but if you drive normal, the motor is making more HP than normal...that means it's able to move the vehicle easier...and that means less gas wasted. we're talking about 2-3 mpg here

OP: you are one lucky guy. my truck is getting a S/C when she is paid for in 2 yrs...and maybe 9-10 psi with a tune
