i know procharger makes em. you can put it on a stock motor , you get 50-65% more power , its also intercooled for cooler air. i think one of the indy ram guys has one on his truck

Procharger makes kits(complete in every detail) for Dodge Rams. KRC Performance sells them plus Vortech kits they put together as well. Couple other places you can get them online(see Procharger link below for other suppliers). No turbo kits available, if you want a turbo your talking custom which will cost a fair bit more than a supercharger kit.

Base Procharger kit starts at 4600 for satin finish P-1SC, 2core air to air intercooler and digital fmu (variable rate)which should give 8-9psi. Guys Ive talked to that started stock with the base kit saw 55%rwhp gains.(if well maintained/good compression) I detuned, removed the ramairbox and under drived the D-1SC (w/3core) on my mild 360. 7psi gave me about 49% increase above what I had prior to detuning.
KRC only shows the larger kit now, call them if you want the base kit. They supply the D-1SC headunit and rated it 10-14psi and supply stronger headgaskets and 2core intercooler ATI/Procharger rate the D-1 for 10-12psi. Not sure, KRC may supply a different pulley or is being optimistic
Looks like a typo on KRCs Procharger kit. They say $6500 on the main page but if you click "add to cart" it shows $5k.

My planned all forged/mild 408, ended up radical. Needed to replace everything I was using prior, so last 2yrs been collecting parts and painting, polishing & powdercoating everything I could under the body that I missed first time around. Here's what it looked like with the mild 360 w/polished D-1SC & 3core a/a intercooler.

i was wanting a roots type supercharger because i like the way they look and imagine they would be much cheaper than the turbine or centrifical styled procharger with intercooler. can anyone tell me what all i would need for a roots supercharger setup, how much it would cost, and how much power it would add?

Kenne Bell made a twin screw, which is better than roots in my opinion, but you would have
to find it used due to them not making the kit anymore.

in all the listings for the prochargers, it says nothing about 02 rams. i wonder if the ones for the 01 rams will work? mine is still the 5.9 with a 7 rib. but it is a 3rd gen.

supercharger is in my future. i have done enough research to know that if you buy one, you should upgrade to the 3 core intercooler. which i would.
