BTW. prochargers are POS big time. my brother lost a finger when the procharger on his old car literally blew up when he was tinkering with something non-procharger realated on his car. he was stupid by leaving the car running, but a blower unit shouldn't explode like it did, it nasty.

turbo hands down, first of all they make more sense for a dailey driver and they make much more power. It will take alot of that money but its definatley worth it. If your going for a cheap fix do the KB but if you want the most bang for your buck go Turbo IMO

Go for turbo man... as around... 80% of the ppl that kno a decent amount about blowers will say turbo... the other 20% are bias or they would agree to... why do u think foreign car us turbos instead of s/c's... the tubros get them for power to there small engine.. image what it would do for you 4.6 V8

My "POS" runs great but the polished KB sounds good too...

I want to see a turbo kit for 6000 on a 4.6, espcially one with a set of twins.
Unless you have plans down the road for a definate shortblock swap a turbo setup is a waste of money.
BTW, you have 6000 bucks laying around you should not be choosing between KB and procharger, you should be choosing between a aftercooled vortech T trim, a intercooled Paxton novi 2000, or a KB 2.2L intercooled.

I'm all about KB....i mean w/ procharger u r goin 2 get the max boost only at high rpms....i was readin bout the KB and it takes .4 of a second at WOT to make full boost! I say go w/ the intercooled 2.1L 9 psi kit and order the 90mm mass air and u should b set at close 2 450 horses!
