I personally prefer the Whipple. Don't have to mess with a bunch of intercooler piping and all the noise associated with a Procharger.

Have you considered doing a turbo set-up.Nitrous and a turbo work really good together

Doesnt have to be a kit. If you have a performance /fab/race shop local to you, go and talk to them. You may be surprised. Ill be going turbo once i get into a ram in the next couple of months. My 06 jeep srt8 has a 76mm turbo. It wasnt a kit and Stage6 Motorsports still dont offer a kit. Ill take a turbo over a s/c anyday after driving both. Just my .02

Good call on the whipple. I have had twin turbos, and a kenne bell roots type blower. The whipple is definitely a better option than centrifugal for full boost off idle, and torque very early in RPM range. The twin turbo kit i had drooped after about a year, causing the oil return lines to be level with the oil pan inlet. Blew the seals out of my turbos. Turbos are mounted by exaust pipe, no frame mounted brackets. For that reason alone i wont own another turbo kit.

My Sci-v7 turned 14psi using 3.14"/7" on a 8 rib belt. Belt slipping with higher boost is a prpblem.

California residents require smog check, will you register in NV or county without smog check like Modoc County? I left California due to Libtardias sickness.

Plenty of counties in Cali still don’t require smog unless you just bought it or are selling it. Maybe he’s not gonna register it, or he’s got it plated out of state.

Curious how this goes. Keep us posted
The guys who make the monitour ram offer or have a lot, and I wanna rapp or something like that makes a kit as well. Just get your hands on a TRX rebel motor as soon as they start making them and ur all set.
