Only starting at $227 per wheel. I dont think I'll be buying a set this year, even though they would look nice on my Suburban.

I did a some research on the superchargers, I thought about one for my Suburban. Kenne Bell and Vortech are the two largest suppliers of B/B GM S/C's. Both have the S/C and spark control packages tuned enough to run 87 octane (recommend 92 for best performance), both report a 2.2 mpg gain when driven conservatively.
These S/C's dont run lean like the Toyota, the research shows they dont benefit as much from an additional injector like Toyota S/C's.
The theory behind the gain is with the extra HP you arent giving the truck as much throttle to accelerate to speed. I know with very little throttle I can get my truck up to 65 just as fast as cars reving real high next to me.
