Gear change & Tune vs. Whipple 2019 5.0 4x4
I am considering 2 different options.
First and more affordable would be to change my 3.31 gears to 4.10 and do an OZ X Tune.
Second being the latest Whipple kit.
I have a JLT intake, Borla cat back and Bilstein 6112s ,2 inch lift in front,.33 inch tires I drive under 80 mostly. 90% aggressive, very bumpy Houston city driving.
I have heard the 4.10 gearing may not be optimal if I supercharge.
Of course the Whipple makes MUCH more HP. I am just not sure I need that much.
I would like have opinions from those who have actually used one or both options?
The gearing and OZ tune is where I am leaning at the time.

I know the gearing is not advisable if I supercharge.

Veteran, retired Navy..
What is the end goal for the truck ?
Why do you think you can't do a gear change with a blower ??

Just looking for other peoples experiences.
So far the 4.10 gearing and an X tune fits my needs well. I do see a lot of usable potential in that combo On the other hand, more HP is always a good thing. My other cars are factory supercharged. So the thought of the truck going that route is a fun idea. But costly.
I am not sure I would want the 4.10 gearing with the super charger. I would have to run in 4 wheel drive just to keep from lighting up the tires. That's why others experiences may be of interest.
This Forum has pretty deep files. I like that they add "related" threads. I found my info at the bottom of that thread. Sure helps.
