All the things I have read about superchargers have been less than desireable
other than more power but the also have heat and detonation problems and are
noisey and I doubt that $3000 would come close for a proper set up reasonably
trouble free installation. Also it is not only a afternoons work to put one
on and if the truck is under warrantee it is history. I thought I wanted one
and sent for a lot of info and did a lot of research into them (Vortek and
Paxton) and scrapped the whole idea and went to NOS. I didn't need a lot more
on the street but just leave the bottle open and it would be there but wanted
it to kick butt at the drags, which it does. I do not know if they are
available for newer than the 93 yet but I know they were working on them..
From What I have read you would have $4000 plus for s proper setup super
charger and then not fool proof. I will have to dig up the article I read and
share it with you..
