What would you do? Here are my options...buy new 18" wheels and tires or wait until early 2001 for the supercharger?

BOTH! lol. I was in your shoes not long ago when I was contemplating Nitrous for my truck. I bought the NOS and the rims. The rims ended up being Lemons.... Just think over all the extras you'll need for both. Tires rims- none, Supercharger- hmmmm. I would wait and save my pennies for the supercharger. You will be happier.

Wait for the supercharger. The wheels you have now look good.

I agree, the wheels on it now look very nice, so put the blower under the hood next.

It really gets down to what *you* feel is the most important thing to *you*. The added performance of a supercharger is something you will enjoy every minute you're behind the wheel, whether anyone is looking at the truck or not.

Best of luck, whatever you decide!

Deffinately the supercharger. Does anyone know the estimated price of it. and how much life will it take off your engine? by the way Andrew Fseriesk, how do you like those gibson split duals. i have a 4.2 and i want to get as close to the v-8 sound as possible.
supercharger all the way!!!!!!!

I was told $3000 give or take $300 for the supercharger. The gibsons arent that loud They dont sound like a V8 , but are alot better than stock.

 

What kind of horsepower and torque increases are they talking about with this supercharger for the V6, have they given any ballpark figures???
