I understand that there is more room on the 09 to 14 trucks up front, but how much more room? I found this Torqstorm s/c kit that has caught my interest as the I/C is mounted up front and not underneath like the procharger kit.

Not arguing the fact... just curious... why would the '09+ trucks have more room than the '07-'08 trucks???

I thought they were all pretty much the same.

That is a good looking kit BTW.

I wonder if the trans cooler has to be relocated?

It looks like some kind of lines running from the passenger side to the drivers side down at the bottom.

From my understanding the trucks have more room than the Yukons.

The lines you see are for a lower mounted trans cooler on the truck.

I get what your saying... when you said trucks you're talking about the Silvys and Sierras and not the '07-'08 Suvs.

JUst asking, what amount of performance gain is obtained using the IC as opposed to not? Is it detrimental to the engine or supercharger to not run a IC?

Air intake temps are critical to remain low on forced induction.
