Default '04 5.7 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab, Need advice please

I'm looking to boost power from my truck and was planning on getting it supercharged, is there anything I should do before I get this done? If so, what? Also, any advice on what sort of supercharger should I look into getting?

Welcome to the site. ATI Procharger makes one for the Ram. I will move this thread to the third generation Ram section,

With one post on the board and asking about a supercharger, I would say you are way over your head at this point. Cost is about 6k and a lot of work and tuning.

Welcome to the site BTW

not too worried about the work or money, i make enough to upkeep it. I used to be satisfied with what i got but i figured it was time for a change. Thank you fascist for the shopping list haha. and thank you weed for the ballpark figure on how much its gonna cost.

If money's not an issue, just sell it and get a diesel. That's what i'd do.

They do have some nice stuff on there. Thanks! I'm looking to get as much power from it as possible while still being able to use it everyday, after installation of course i realize that'll take some time. Diesel isn't really pratical for me. I like them dont get me wrong just like the hemi too much.

You're gonna need a different computer for real power.

Someone to build it too.

I would look into turbo's and skip the sc altogether.
