Love this discussion so far, the truck that came up in our discussion was a tundra in fact with the 5.7. It will be supercharged soon by him when time permits. I never had a supercharger and more familiar of course with turbo charged engines. I totally agree as well that this won't make a gas job pull like the diesel counterpart. My concern was heat created by such a unit when pulling a camper... I've seen videos of trucks getting supercharged but nothing discusses issues with heat. I think most of them aren't used for pulling anyway. Supercharged units start with 6psi boost and of course according can be bumped up with certain mods I believe. I could not do this to my truck despite my desire to always build or creat something of sorts. I have an upcoming 1969 Chevy 350 rebuild starting in the spring for my C10 but plan to leave it all stock of course. Does anybody know how GM engineered the 4.8 with a supercharger? It was a hot rod type truck produced a few years ago and I think that it came with a manual transmission. I curios how they accomplished the heat issue, I thought we had someone on this board at one time with one but I could be wrong. Anyway thanks again for all the imput, it's great to read and learn.
