Supercharger?

Hey, I have a 2005 Avalanche 1500 Z71 and I have been wanting to upgrade the horsepower for a while now. I have been looking at a couple of different superchargers and I can't decide what would be best and what all I need to do to my transmission. I am also tight on cash and was wondering if I could find a used one or if anyone on here is selling any. Please let me know.
 
If you're strapped for cash, then trying to get more power out of your Avalanche is not the place to start.  You will spend several thousand dollars on the supercharger, even a used one.  Plus several thousand more beefing up the transmission, rear end, etc.  Sorry  :sigh:
 
Looking at a W140ax Whipple twin-screw supercharger that significantly outflows competitions 1.9L roots-type and 2.3L twin-screw - See more at: https://whipplesuperchargers.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=21#sthash.q0UvnYWj.dpuf.

Anyone had any experience with this or a ProCharger?

I live in high altitude with a 3.42 gear ratio.
 
Wow georgedafith,
You sure woke up an old thread (from 2010).  >:D

Lots of threads on forced induction and members who have this or the Magnacharger supercharger setup. Best for low end torque to get these heavy trucks moving in a usable rpm range.
 
been running the magnison on mine for years and many miles now'
have rebuilt trans after it failed but not due to supercharger. radiator core breach to trans cooler :beating:
and also have re- gear to 456 for truck weight and 35" tires.
