Superchargers are great for drag racing as they can negate turbo lag and get you off the line a hair quicker.

In a towing situation where time to spool up the turbo isn't an issue, it makes no sense to accept the parasitic loss...particularly for a manufacturer looking at govt fuel economy rules.

That's just your opinion. Furthermore,I said nothing about government, manufacture or fuel economy rules.

I stated that I would install a supercharger instead of a turbo. Let me put it another way: if I was going to pay money to modify my car or truck and was choosing between a turbo and a supercharger, I'd choose a supercharger.. It's my preference. It's less complicated.

BTW, turbos are used in drag racing and road racing.

Not so much an opinion but an explanation why you are unlikely to ever see supercharger come with a new truck. It's really a technology that has very limited uses (drag racing being one of them).

You can add a NOX system if you want to, just doesn't make a lot of sense for a manufacturer to consider it.

Turbos can be used in drag racing...just at the upper limits, they go superchargers as they don't have do do anything complicated to negate turbo lag...of course, that was the point...this is a thread about a production engine in a truck and a little turbo lag isn't a big concern for towing.
