All said, - Id' still opt for the roots blower power for the 5fours in these trucks. It starts right above idle without the countdown before launch. Seems like a better way go for both towing and fun off road for the 150 anyway.

So on my way home from work Tuesday, it was 61 degrees outside. 3 hours later it was snowing. And it has kept raining and snowing since then. We just got breaking news that there was just an avalanche at Snowbird that buried 3 cars. I hope nobody is hurt.

I wish I had the means to make an adapter to fit a GM M90 to my truck. I've got one sitting on the shelf.

The engine can take it, the trans is the weakest link. Never try to brake torque these factory transmissions. Unless you remove the rear brakes first.
