does the power wire make much of a difference n were does it plug in at

 

How "cheap" are all those mods (combined) you mentioned? And all the work? And you are NOT going to get 50% to 100% increase in power. Superchargers are relatively easy to add and have a more "usable" torque curve, but even adding turbos is no more difficult than pulling all those components you mention. As far as cost you can get perfectly running used turbos/superchargers for hundreds instead of thousands - I just sold two perfectly running used KKK03s for about $150 each - the buyers are completely satisfied with them.

As far as is the extra power "worth" it? I don't know, but I have yet to find someone wishing their vehicle was less powerful. "Gee, I would really LOVE this truck if only it had less power, because with this much power it just isn't worth the money/effort to get it." Why increase the power at all unless you want the most you can get? I use the extra power EVERY day in daily driving, and my car has never been on a race track. But if you only want modest gains then maybe some of the mods you mention may be "worth it". But all combined will cost you nearly what FI would, but at maybe half the rewards, if that. On a good day. To each their own, I guess.

I do agree with you though you are correct about the Cummins swap, it would be a very well spent use of your money. But you should realize it would cost WAY more than the mods you mentioned and guess what? IT HAS A TURBO!!!!

And then there is always NOX, but THAT truly is for racing. As far as bang for your buck, it is relatively cheap and DOES produce serious power, so it may be at the top of the list in that regard. But it isn't very practical for daily driving and cost continues to go up as you use it, not to mention safety issues. But, as to the OP, there is lots of documentation available regarding effectiveness.

 

If i did fi i would want to tear into my engine anyways replacing a few things, pistons mostly so i could actually run more boost
