If the factory SC creates 5psi of boost, though driven by a belt, it loses a small percentage of that. So the 20hp differnce is created. But using a turbo system with a matched turbo (say a T3 flange on a 60-1...)it would create enough highend spool to have top end power, but lots of low end grunt to churn the tires into motion.

This is all just wondering if its possible, so positive and negative critisism are welcomed.

But some of the other desert runners i ran with a few years ago back in Big Bend, walked away from me, and all i did was eat dust in my Hardbody, granted i had 233whp...it was ample enough, but not enough to stick with the high performance rangers and f150s.

I would just like to have an SUV that could show some grunt.(my personal taste...is custom and out of the oridinary...i dont like main stream ideas)
i feel you bro....ask any of these guys i made and ass of myself asking pretty much the same thing, i wanted 2 super charge my '01 XE, after considering the input i got from these guys, i didnt like it but i realized it jus wont happen. unless i rob a bank or somethin. my advice, if you got the money, go for it and once its finished post some pics and specs, just 2 make us all jelous. and belive me a 280whp xterra will show a new side of what u can do with an x....make it happen [Too much XOC] [Huh?] [LOL]
