Believe me, when I find a deal I will drop the money down and go ahead. I'm looking to join the ranks of Fatherford and BlownFord. Hell I'd even drop a Whipple on my Ram 1500 if it weren't for having such a weak-*** tranny and rear end.

Lol...I had a Ram and sold it for the Ford. In my opinion, it just seems that there is more engine upgrades for the Fords. Watcha think?

Yeah especially for tuning because there PCM is so encrypted and encompasses a lot of the vehicle features.

They are not going to be cheap so...what you see is what you get.

You are absolutely correct. That is probably why you don't see many of them around. Though, I'm going to have to work my *** off somehow to get one since I'm keeping my truck for a very long time!

Look to Whipple or Saleen for a twinscrew. Of course Kenne Bell makes twin screws but not a kit for out trucks. Keep your eyes peeled for a used kit. Thats about the only way you will get a deal.

I picked up my Whipple for $3400 shipped used from ebay.

Blown, it wouldn't really be worth putting a supercharger on a truck that has about 100k miles on it would it?
