i'm freinds with garret shields or how ever you spell it he's the owner of pure diesel power anyway on Facebook and he posted this pic of a super charged 7.3 idi that's supposed to be pulling some where today thought i'd share it ;Sweet

garret just said It's a supercharger off a 3.8GTP. 2lbs of boost!

Novel idea, build a plate, bolt on a blower and go. He makes it look so easy. I wonder how 2 lbs will help all that much though? I say change that pulley and start looking at 7psi.

Cool idea. Id love to see pics on how the plate mates to the manifold. Maybe that has something to do with the low psi??

oh boy get a smaller pulley on there then put a big ol turbo on there to then youve got a great combo off idle boost then high pressure and volume on the top end

it does have a smaller then stock pulley on it, are you sure it only puts out 2lbs of boost?

I think he means 2lbs at idle maybe? I recall seeing that SC cummins thread on here and recall that guy seeing 5lbs at idle.

I bet that rig would be more of a beast with a Supercharger and Turbo combo like some detroit diesels would run. :sly

I wondered what it would take to bolt a blower on. Does the turbo have any problems blowing through the SC? Would be an awesome setup, although i wonder about the lifespan of a super charger.

And what is a GTP

read the link in the post about a cummins with a sc and turbo. I seem to remember something about that truck having a valve inside the sc that would open when the turbo really started kicking to open it up and help prevent parasitic loss on the high end of rpms
