Hmm never been seen a Supercharged IDI intriguing. ;Sweet

Like it because it doesnt put any restriction on the exhaust= less pressure in the engine + lower egt + no turbo lag

suprised no one has done this, sold the ats and bought this and had some money left over!

What do you mean? There's been multiple supercharged idi's, and other diesels.

Hmm, I put together a nice water/**** system for about $150, works great and only took about 4 hours to fabricate and install, $500-$600 for a system is what people who have more money than creativity pay..

So I went to San Antonio Raceway this past weekend with some friends and took the truck for a run, I put on my stock belt and bypassed the supercharger because I don't want to race with it until I have more fuel and nos + propane to complement blower. So with the truck running N/A it ran 19.5 @70mph (was 90 degrees Fahrenheit outside)... not great but not bad for a 8000 lbs truck that would do 0-60 in 22 seconds stock.

I expect to see good gains with propane since I'm starved for fuel with the supercharger and since nos will bring my EGTs down as well... would expect to get down to 18.5 with propane and F/I but would like to get down to 16-17 @80 mph, I'm optimistic but ready for the challenge, propane injection kit is put together but I had my Vacuum Pump go out so that's the priority right now.
