Sell your current truck, Take that 10K plus the money you make for the sale of your truck and purchase a nice ram with a CTD in it and a tuner. Then take it to the strip and show up all those puny gas engines.
I was gonna get a supercharger, However, I am usually towing to much to really get any enjoyment out of it, So decided to stay with the classic mods.
Spend 2 grand and get a turbo kit. with everything you need, as teach about it. I know he is going to in the near future.
If things work out, I will be getting one of those turbo kits. For about 2 grand you get everything you need for a remote mount turbo setup other than the piping.
Get a different tranny. These stock ones can't handle that much power. The supercharger won't give you that much power unless you replace the pulley with one that pushes enough boost to give you that much horsepower increase. And the supercharger will fit under your hood, they only rub on hoods that have the thick padding on the underside of them.
Hear, hear!!!! Yes, there are some folks who have superchargers under the stock hood. That's not an issue. What is the issue is the stock tranny can't handle the increased power. They tend to eat clutches.
Still not great for towing or offroading. But hey who buys a truck for those things anymore.
Right, no towing with the turbo setup. But they did say I can still carry a bed full of drywall or lumber, which is good bc that is what I use my truck for.
