Im planning doing a lq9 swap in my 94 chevy z71 and was wondering if it is even worth putting on a sts turbo with 5psi/no intercooler. My problem is that i cant use an intercooler because my truck spends alot of time offroad as well as onroad and i dont want a intercooler under my bumper.(wouldnt last very long) So is it even worth messing with a turbo or not?
if you do alot of offroading- deep mud, I would suggest going with a magnacharger.

USE A WATER TO WATER INTERCOOLER BY THE MOTOR OR UNDER THE RADIX. THEN MUD ALL YOU WANT. IT WILL HAVE TONS OF LOW END TORQUE. JUST WHAT YOU NEED FOR MUDD'IN.if you do alot of offroading- deep mud, I would suggest going with a magnacharger.

I would go with the magna anyway, you might make more out of a turbo in the long run. But the magna put me in the 12's, which is more than I need on my DD

If i use the magnacharger what cam should i use? I want the most power gain and i like the deep loping sound from a bad ass cam.
yeah, rear mount turbo not good for ur app at all.
Also if i do go supercharger which is better, whipple, vortec, or magnacharger?
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Muddin 94 Z71 @ Jan 2 2007, 11:56 PM) [snapback]78179[/snapback]</div>NOT THE VORTEC. If you go centrifugal go Procharger. I have a whipple and love it. Don't forget radixAlso if i do go supercharger which is better, whipple, vortec, or magnacharger?

99RCSB Broke because I wasted thousands and thousands of dollars on my truck.
I am still needing help on deciding on what cam? Any more suggestions on on superchargers? Thanks.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Muddin 94 Z71 @ Jan 3 2007, 09:46 PM) [snapback]78254[/snapback]</div>I would recommend a Radix with a cam similar to the Ligenfelter GT2-3. It is a proven combo, and will work well for your application.I am still needing help on deciding on what cam? Any more suggestions on on superchargers? Thanks.
