Don't worry about your truck being fast. It's a truck, not a race car. You plan on using it for towing/hauling stuff around. You can haul all the stuff you want with it. These trucks can get up and go, just not as fast as a Tundra or a Ram. These trucks WILL outwork them and outlast them. Make your truck your own when you get it. Put in a nice sound system, nice all terrains with rims, etc etc.
Thats just it. Trucks are not just trucks anymore. When I bought my f150 I was told that I was nuts for getting a standard cab with an 8 ft. box. The trad in value is not as good as the extended cab with a short bed. My response was so what I wanted a truck.
I have had two tickets in the last few months. One for 88 in a 55 zone cop wrot it up as 65 in a 55 zone. And then a 78 in 55 zone, double fine zone. Cop wrote it up as not obeying posted signage.

12 Second Truck
No no no. People didn't have f'd motors cause of a Roush charger. People have f'd motors cause they add parts without tuning or let idiots tune their truck who don't know what they're doing but they have a dyno and a computer and they made a lot Mustang go real fast bla bla bla. It happens all the time. And as I stated at the very begining, "450rwhp is 450rwhp". If it comes from a blower, nos, or a built motor, its just as unsafe if you don't have the driving experience.

Ok Im confused, you want a really fast truck, you dont want to spend money on chargers, you want to haul stuff and work, All that just tells me your not ready for the truck. You cant have all of that stuff. Either you build a fast hot rod and put a super charger in it or you have yourself a truck to be a truck.

Your argument about Lightning being stock also holds no water since you are wanting 450rwhp no truck is going to be stock with that. Now go ask da-da for help replying to this post as you have no valid argument. You ask how to get the power we told you.

Whatever. My Dad just plain up doesnt want me getting something with a supercharger. I'm pretty sure that it was just that he grew up poor as a kid and for his first car he got a beater for like $400.
Right now I'm just paranoid on cars and I nag him, my brother and all of my brothers friends that have cars. Everyday my Dad will come home from work and I'll jump straight to asking him about turbos and whatever else I find on the Internet.
My Dad always says the quickest thing that comes to mind to get rid of me because apparently at times Im unbearable to listen to about my crazy truck ideas. I can garauntee that probably after a year of driving he wont really care if I get a supercharger. Whatever thats just the way she goes.
