Default How to make your truck FEEL really fast again....

Sorry useless thread, but anyway I bought a 3rd car for good gas miliage. I picked up a 2000 saturn sl1 in mint condition with 123k on it for 800 bucks. I had to put tires on it intake manifold gasket and radiator and a few other little things. Car runs and drives great and getting 35mpg+ with the little car. I must be obsessed I bought th truckto drive it so my BMW stays nice, now I bought the saturn so my truck stays nice and get better mpg. Was thinking of just getting rid of the truck but I love it and it is so handy to have when I have to get crap for the house plus it is paid off like the other 2 cars. Anyway point of the post sice I been driving the saturn for over a week I decided to drive the truck and now it feels like a rocket compared to my 100hp saturn! Thinking now I may revisit supercharging the truck or going all motor like I was asking about few months back.

If you find someone who makes supercharger kits for our trucks, be sure to post the name. I think one company offered one a few years ago but discontinued making them.
