I've heard that the kenne bell works best with a stock motor. I have an 02 cc R/T. Do you guys think it would be ok if I put the supercharger on with the M1, 52 cnc TB, headers, and true duals no cats. If so where do you think this would put me in the 1/4. Thanks guys.

I'd advise against using the KB on a 5.9L motor... Very few people use that blower with that engine because there are a lot of tuning issues that arise with that kit and KB hasn't been very helpful with getting those issues resolved. The Powerdyne is the bang for the buck entry-level SC, and the Paxton seems to be the front-runner for top performance and tuning options. With those options you'd be well into the 13's in a club cab - depends on your altitude/conditions/experience too.

I would highly reccomend not get a supercharger unless it is a paxton novi 2000. I have had nothing but problems with my vortech, and many others have had numerous problems as well. I would go with nitrous in a heartbeat if I could go back in time. But the paxton novi 2000 with your mods could easily get you into low 13s because of its fuel system. there is a stock cc rt running 13.6 just with the paxton.

Kenne Bell and Magna Charger both recommend putting their units on stock applications.

They highly discourage the use of headers, as it reduces backpressure needed for BOOST.

Graphite01 on dodgetrucks.org , is running a NOVI-2000 on his R/T, and is quite happy.

I don't have the R/T, but I went with the Paxton for future upgrade ability.

Thanks for the replies guys. How much is the paxton novi 2000. Does it require you to tap the oil pan.

its around 4k, and it does say to tap the pan, but Bob found a way to just use the drane plug hole as a source for the oil....im sure if you asked him, he can give you a parts list on how to avoid tapping the pan.

notchlx, I wouldn't say that I'm totally happy just yet because we haven't finished the tuning. But of the kits out there right now, there are several things I like about the Paxton over the others.

When we're done, we'll be talking up the results big time and getting the truck out to as many shows and races as I can find time for so that people can not only see, but ride in the truck to understand what a good tune and seamless drivability is all about.
