Still waiting on the headers before i get it on the dyno. Towed a load of wood and a lawn tractor, not really all that much weight but you couldn't tell it was back there. What kind of video wouod you like to see?

I was looking at the Roush kit, and found out earlier that my cylinder is warped. Getting short block replaced over the next few days. If you don't mind me asking, what's the cost on your listed upgrades approximately?

I bought everything from stage 3 motorsports minus the gauge and roush pod. Now i could of saved money from a local performance shop on the procharger but i didn't ask them until after i already bought and installed it. All prices are on their website. The roush blower would be better for towing. I went this route because iv used every type of forced induction on the market on verious vehicles except a centrifugal blower. And the procharger dyno charts iv seen make more power than the other options for this truck. Its not the ideal blower for towing but it is fun as hell to drive, towing is less than 10% of what i use this truck for.
