STS is the only turbo kit ready made for our trucks and the turbo mounts under the truck in place of the muffler, not a good idea in our neck of the woods. So basically, a S/C that mounts under the hood is a better choice, and there are several off the shelf kits available.

If you want the most power and torque then go with a custom single turbo setup. If you want to just bolt something in and go then look for a supercharger. The turbo setup will cost more upfront but the overall cost/performance ratio is about the same if not a little in favor of the turbo depending on how you go.

For a daily drive I would go with a Roush or Whipple.
