V6 - Nitrous or Supercharger (In that order)
V8 - Supercharger and/or Nitrous (Right Ted?) ;)
It really depends on what you want to do though and who you want to open up
a can of whoop-a$$ on.
As for the Turbo vs. Supercharger: Turbos are generally a little bit more
expensive due to the fabrication involved, custom exhaust manifold, and heat
related issues (yes, they run hot). A Supercharger (model depending of
course) will generally give you more torque off the line (less spool up time
required) and will fit with minor modifications (no mods to the exhaust
system required). Cost wise, again...a Turbo system will be slightly more
expensive. As for the Nitrous vs. the other two, there's no comparison.
Nitrous will always give you more bang for the buck: 100HP Shot = $800
(with all the trimmings) vs. $2500+ for a Supercharger or Turbo system with
almost the same type of gain.
$0.02

Ok I dont mean to open a can of worm here... but I need to decide what to
do. I dont know a whole lot about the turbo yet, so if someone can fill
me in on cost, affects and availability this would help me out a lot. So
assuming all other things are done(intake, ignition, exhaust, intake,
etc.) what would you put on the following trucks. I want the most gain,
rwhp, and speed...basically i want to whoop some ass. We have whats
called Erie Boulevard here ...and on Fri and Sat nights it becomes the
light tree at every red light effect. The cops dont care before 11. So
here are the trucks
99 v6 reg cab 2 wheel drive
99 R/T Reg Cab
Thanks for all your input
