How much hp do you want to make? and how much $$$ do you want to spend? The supercharger will get you good hp for less $$$, turbos will get you alot more hp but will cost you considerably more. My 01 SCAB, 4x4 with a Procharger is currently making 293 rwhp and 330 rwtq, but I'm still working on it. I'm looking for 340 rwhp and over 400 rwtq.

well for a daily driver I would do a supercharger...either a L swap or a Procharger....if you have a 4x4 then I would do a L swap for 3000-3500 price range...the L supercharger will give you great off the line power

the Procharger is also a great s/c but the power comes in the higher rpm range and is still fun to drive

I have the L supercharger on mine right now and I love it...I have a 4x4 and it gets off the line really hard...I had a Procharger before and i miss the the power it had at higher rpms but it lacked the power I wanted off idle

I searched the classified s and found a used Procharger. Great price, best thing I've ever done for my truck.

The L swap is another great alternative.

Here's one for sale:

Then see Mike Dunn for the conversion parts, get a cutsom tune on a dyno when you are done, and you'll have a sweet ride:
