Re: Whipple supercharger ?

There aren't many force fed trucks on here, and those that do in the LS section usually use the procharger or vortech style kits, and a few with the top mount style blowers.
I can't think of one with a side mount whipple, but if there is I'd be interested to see the setup.

Re: Whipple supercharger ?

Hey Assassin,
i noticed you used a supercharger for an 07-up 5.3. I also have a 2001 5.3 but I have a local deal for an 07-up magna-charger with innercooler and 'everything' needed to install. I can get it used from my hookup for $1000 flat.
Anybody think that's a good deal?
Is it a hard modification getting the newer setup to fit?

That is the older Radix supercharger, not the TVS series, but still a steal @ $1000 IMO.
