03SS95Z28 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Been hanging around in the background doing a lot of reading, and decided to jump in and introduce myself to the forum. This is a first for me on any forum, so be gentle. I bought my arrival blue 03SSS new and have done very little to it, other than an exhaust and a CAI. Well the mod bug has been chewin on me for awhile (since 03) and with only 35k on the truck I have convinced myself it is time. I'm ready for a supercharger, my plans are for a tvs1900 or a mp112, coated dynatech lts, Taylor 409 wires, Ngk plugs, a zippy shift kit and servos and being fairly close to Houston I'm gonna go with Wheatley for the tune. Now I'm not real Internet saavy, the best price I found for the TVS new is around $5,400 and the 112 $4,900 at superchargersonline.com. The coated dynatechs at jethot.com for$1,600. Do these prices sound good or can I do better? Which blower would be best? Saving money would be great but quality, dependability, and ease of install are worth more to me since everything is going to be installed by me and a very knowledgable buddy. Any tips, suggestions, or advice will be greatly appreciated, as there seems to be a wealth of knowledge here. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaymz Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 welcome to the site... Few pointers.. check out the for sale forum here.. there are a few superchargers for sale.. and also Performancetrucks.net. Theres really no point in buying a new one..if you can find a unit with reasonable miles. Keep in mind for the most part you can run 150k Miles on a mp112 before you need to tear it down.. So don't be affraid to buy a used unit. as far as the headers go.. check out this site.. http://speed-eng.com/store/pacesetter-long...907-p-7620.html Good luck to you sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pacesetters were one of my top three LT picks, like the dynatechs for bolt in place ease and the high flow cats, although they are pricey.

Sounds like something to look into, what kind of sound do you get out of that set up. I have flowmasters now and like the sound but wouldn't mind getting a better performing muffler.
