Oh snap... that's MY truck. SURPRISE. Stop guessing at my secret project, it was a Novi 2000 blower with a Procharger BOV. If I wasn't before, I am completely out of the running for TOTM now.

First drive, yes I know my dash is lit up like a Christmas tree, they are all minor issues to be dealt with, like wiper fluid and a bum air bag light. Anyways, enjoy.

EDIT: Almost forgot the most important part! Thanks to Billy for his extensive knowledge and help in this long project!

It has been my pleasure brother. I'm very proud to be part of this project and see how this truck has turned out. You have become quite the gear head.

I was so thrilled to see this thing fire up for the 1st time, lol.

I will say this. Without a doubt, for me this has definitely been my longest research, part collection and custom fabrication build to date. Travis installed 90% of this custom kit we built while I advised. He was the primary wrench turner on this project.

So yes, this is proof you can supercharge a G3 Dakota without a kit. Just depends on how bad you want it.

ericemery Congrats, I still wouldnt call it an SRT though. (because a 6.1 wasnt blown, thats why. )
I badged it and call it and SRT because it certainly out performs/looks better than RT dakotas. MAtter of opinion obviously, and I expect flak for it, but I'm proud of her being so different.

Just depends on how bad you want it.
I want it! Thanks for all the support dudeman.

Buckmaster SAAAWEEET!

Nah, you don't wanna know.




Thanks guys! Still got a lot of work to do though.
