I'll be taking mine to the track this summer to see what it can do. It's a daily driver though, but still has the Stage 2 Roush Kit and I'm looking at an Oz Tune for it. Launching in 4x4 with 650 hp turns out some decent 0 -60 times, but the speed limiter will kill me 1/4 mile without a tune.

Yikes! One of the earlier whipple tunes cut off at 100 or so, but they've raised it up since then to 135+.

Lined up with a GT350. These thrucks are great stock and a great platform to build off of.

Very interested in all this as well. Just purchased a 2013 2wd RCSB with the 5.0 yesterday and the plan is to make a mid 500rwhp truck for my daily. I sure do like the idea of the twin turbo kit but love the lower end torque of the superchargers. So if on3 does come out with a kit it will be a good option.

If anyone else is in the 2017 boat and looking to add a power adder to their 5.0, there is currently no flash tuning available. The aftermarket hasn't cracked the strategy yet....

I was just looking at the on3 kit....amazing price. Just curious to see how the fit/finish quality is. EDP has a kit with 55mm turbos and at the same boost level as the on3 kit is making 700hp/tq while the on3 is under 600... but the on3 is a way better price so idk. We will have to wait for the kit to come out. Honestly if its a decent kit I will probably pursue that direction opposed to a NA build.

Stop thinking about it and get Ken to tune your truck. His customer service alone is worth it and then there's the tune which is amazing.

And the on3 is using 60mm. Maybe they aren't really giving out accurate numbers just yet. But still you can't beat that price tag, especially compared to a SC... which run around 6500..
