Thanks for the input

Now I've got a different dilema.

Cat back and gears OR procharger?

I hadn't considered a blower until PHS79 brought it up then I realized that I'll have enough. But do I wanna blow that much money? Especially on a 4x4. Do I really need boost?

No reason for gears with your tires, I'd get exhaust.

how much you looking to spend?

Roush has their intercooled supercharger on sale for $3,700...or $3,800...and this is +145 HP. I love my RoushCharger...it's fun...and I only have the non-intercooled


the procharged setups are nice, but they are basically turbo's...with all the drawbacks. They make boost as the RPM goes up...so basically starts out with very low boost and then increases the faster the motor spins.

The Roush/Magnacharger setup is a positive displacement twin screw that makes boost off the line. The boost is a constant value that doesn't increase



terajerame can probably point you at some good procharger tricks though if you want to go that route.
