its a 1ton 4x4 k30 truck its got the good stuff already . dana 60 front / dana 70 HD rear and th400 trans . but yes there is always a weak link someplace .

edelbrock just come out with boost upgrade for the pro flo 4 units . but they dont do roots style blowers and there pro flo 4 system . would need to be a bolt on the front belt drive unit or turbo .

and if i wanted boost i would do turbo its FREE hp in the end .
