you probably need 2 to get the air in all 8
Superchargers... turbo's..Do these mods take away the offroad capabilities?

Probably not necessairy for me at all, but I may go with the Roush supercharger, potentially have a hookup on one so will see where it leads... odd thing is my Fiance suggested it haha.
One comment on the SC to off-road. At the Texas Raptor Run this year we went through mud puddles built fairly deep and I followed along. The AFE CAI I had (which uses most of the stock intake box) got plenty of mud, and the AFE dry filter was splashed (about 1/2 of the surface) w/ mud.
The Whipple kit removes the stock box, and leaves a LOT of the filter directly open to the underside and front of the truck. While not a concern in normal driving, I'm fairly sure that hitting those mud pits at speed is gonna put water/mud directly on the filter in volume. So...am considering making a plate to help deflect from a a direct path, and getting replacement filters and/or a wet filter at worst. Not sure.
For anybody who LIKES playing in the mud at higher speed - I'd say there's a need for evaluate the enclosure on the SC filter intake for keeping the moisture off it and out of the engine.

Totally agree.. Sundays mud run at TRR would probably killed a SC Raptor unless the airbox was sealed! I am still finding Texas Mud on/in my truck!

My mud running is done in my Wrangler, and after digging mud out of it for two years, I go around the mud holes now, just too much clean up.
