Default Put 10-20k in my truck or just buy an srt10?

Just paid off my 2012 now time for more power. But anything other than stock is uncharted territory for me. One option I found so far was procharger. Look all around interwebs and found that it will run good on stock hemi at about 6psi. True? I went from a 99 ram with 140 hp to my now 2012 with almost 400 hp and it blew me away. Maybe a procharger is enough for me? Looked up and down the forums for anything about prochargers in the 4th gen with no luck. If I decided to go further than this and dump large sums of $$$ into my truck, is worth building up the 5.7. Or just go with srt10. If I drop the 10k that would be for the procharger and better braking system. Or drop 20k for suspension, engine/ tranny/ rear end upgrades or go srt10. Totally noob to power, be nice!
Truck info: 2012 ram 1500 5.7 hemi single cab base model, auto 2wd under 40k miles.

Nothing wakes up a motor like forced induction. If you can find a good kit, that comes with everything you need to make it run right, it's going to be the easiest way to get a BIG power boost.
