    It's the same measurement, no difference in boost between the two, both will create the same boost

    So i have been researching about the meth kit and seems like the way to go. Do you have any other gauges aside from your boost? how do you keep an eye on the AFR

    Maybe i can get away with the 2.2 pulley and meth with no upgrade to the fuel pump?

    371.00 is a screaming deal, probably cheaper in winter than summer and 160 units sold!!
    Get the low level fluid sensor if you use the windshield tank, you will NOT need to replace the fuel pump,
    Start off with the 2.2 pulley as I'm sure it will work just fine. I had a speed shop that installs these kits do the tuning for me with it on the dyno to make sure my AFR was perfect.
    Your factors will be a size 1 nozzel or size 2 nozzel and when to have the spray start will depend on your
    needs for the truck, each truck will be different depending on the motor and your altitude and pulley size. The spray comes on when the the truck starts to run lean! For me it's 4.5 pounds of boost up. I don't have an AFR but will get one soon, that way you can always check on your system to make sure it's working correctly,
    Run 50/50 methanol to start

    If your adding a supercharger, a methonal kit for more power, more boost, here are a few things I would suggest

    1) replace fuel filter so your getting 100 percent flow
    2) a better air filter that would accommodate 10 pounds of boost
    3) upgrade the nose seal to a higher quality, 400 degrees seal
    4) change supercharger fluid every 25,000 miles
    5) use the GATES supercharger belt, last the longest
    6) get a steel supercharger pulley as they don't wear out and no slipping
    7) get a low level fluid sensor for methonal
    8) get an AFR gauge
    9) get boost gauge
    10) if you have the 1gen supercharger, get the "O" gasket to replace the "D" gasket at the throttle body
    11) if you have 1st gen supercharger install a butt screw on the nose snout for 5 minute oil changes
    12) DRIVE AND HAVE FUN!!!

    I had a Gates belt put on for my supercharger to replace the TRD one, based on your suggestion a little while back. It was less expensive than the TRD version and had great reviews online. I usually hit it (and the other belts) with conditioner every few thousand miles to keep 'em fresh

    Excellent advice, I also happen to work for an autoparts store which happens to carry gates belts. Do you know what's the part number by any chance?
    Also, what low level sensor did you ordered? I thought the kit came with one.
    I think I will run into trouble using my reservoir as the container, because I have an aftermarket bumper and kinda exposes my reservoir.

    Thanks for the info :thumbsup:
    Already ordered the meth kit. I only need the supercharger now :rofl:
    Just waiting to see who I buy it from. Urd has them on back ordered for another 2 weeks or maybe 3. My next option was to order thru Amazon via the seller lce performance, and get me some 5% cash back on my CC :D

    LC Engineering is a good place to buy from, just as reputable as URD...they've been around a long time. Just make sure that if you buy it through Amazon that any warranty LCE normally offers is still intact. Sometimes Amazon will sell things from other vendors "unofficially", meaning you might be getting a great deal through Amazon but the product won't come with the company's warranty because you didn't get it through them...if that makes sense. Just something to look into, good luck!!

    A low level sensor is extra I believe but they are cheap and u can probably get a universal one for what ever tank u use

    where did you get the smaller pulley? I have a 2.1 right now. But im at elevation as well so would run a 2'' if i could find it. Probably going to go to a meth kit as well.

    Also, i believe when you say it's fast. I got an sx taco and its so damn light the v6 just moves it a long super easy.

    And do you have EGR? or did you delete it with the new motor?
