Default While I was daydreaming about superchargers...

How much power would I need to dip into the 12s in the 1/4?

My trucks weights 5960lbs full weight without me (I'm a skinny 165lbs), the weight station is less than 1/4 from where I get gas and it's a certified weight scale. I have everything in my truck including subs and random stuff in the truck. Before I filled up if was 5760.

I looked all over and haven't found anything about screw 4x4s with supercharger hitting the 1/4. So I'm thinking 550 Supercharger HP should be get me there, what do you guys think?

P.S. I'm not looking for any engine wars here.

About 400 rw/450 fwhp, along with commensurate torque.

I'm debating doing a boss 302 intake along with tune from 5* with their intake for the boas intake and long tube headers and full dual exhaust with 4.10's... Should be at least low 13's I think.. But on the other hand I'm looking at slapping the roush supercharger with tune and long tubes etc and seeing how far that goes but I'm worried bout engine longevity with the supercharger

I have boss5.0s intake/headers/wideband/tach sitting in storage waiting for install. I'm thinking Magnuson supercharger, headers, widebands and sell the boss intake/tach.
