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.

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.

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.

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.

What tranny did the SRT-10 quad cab use? They were automatic and help up to the 505hp V10?
