forced induction is pretty awesome vs nitrous. have you considered a turbo setup?

remember not to neglect the bottom end if you use the s/c, since the crankshaft takes the brunt of the parasitic drag of the blower and belt.

ive thought about turbos but a blower is a little more "bolt-on" and i can always put it in a boat or another vehicle.

good thing about my bb is it already has a steel crank so all im going to do is get it balanced and add my h-beam rods and my dished pistons. other than a cam and good flowing factory heads the motor will be pretty much stock.

dam CC your truck is CEAN!!! the guy thats doing the back half works a $30 an hour, he will have it for about a month, that will give me plenty of time to save. i have a **** ton of car/truck parts that i can sale to make up for the blower money . its all working out pretty well.
