Curious SuperCharger Question!?
Does anyone on here know what our trucks fuel economy goes to when the supercharger is installed? I heard that there was not much of a difference but I would like a second opinion. Thanks Guys!

it depends on your foot. You can get higher than you would when towing and hualing heavy loads since the engine is not working as hard, or if you run it hard you can go through it as fast as you want

True!

1) it would be dumb to drop six grand in an attempt to improve fuel economy.

2) it would be even dumber to worry that you may hurt fuel economy after dropping six grand on a supercharger.

3) if you are worried about fuel economy in the first place, then you don't have the money to be buying a supercharger!

just my 2 cents
