My budget is 5K or under. My complete kit with pulley, custom tuning, and Roush blower shipped is under 5K. So, Im open to suggestions.
You might be able to work with JDM on the price of that kit... You will get a PM shortly...

That basic kit with a slightly bigger pulley and JDM tunes can get you at the same power level as the roush for about the same price.

I just ordered a tune from JDM from my Roush charger yesterday. As for the amount of time waiting for the PCM to come back it took mine a week. I sent it on Monday and got it back on Friday wihich was enough time to install the kit each night after work. So it didn't hold me up at all.

No, it's sort of an inside joke. Unless your truck blows up, don't worry about it, just enjoy it.

I might have to jump on the band wagon for a JDM to just try something different.

Sr. comes down to houston about once a month... I can see if I can setup a "date" sometime later this year and we can just all get dyno-tuned...

That would be nice in the cooler months. I would be game on that.

Troyer is a good guy and I've talk to him many many times and yes his wait time is long as hes crazy busy apparently.

I would never go a roots style blower. Most stock vehicles come with a roots blower with very few being the new TVS style blowers. The main thing is look at the Lightning and Cobra guys. When they get into big power with a positive displacement blower they all change out a roots for a twinscrew. Why would you spend money on a roots when you can buy an upgraded blower. People often look at these blowers at 8PSI where they make roughly the same hp. Screws live for boost and you can see that even at 10PSI where screws tend to make around 430RWHP and Roush with full bolt ons make around 410-420. The M112 is way to small of a blower for big power.

Personally I would go with the JDM 12PSI set up like Fatherford has if I was the OP. It makes 450RWHP but could easily make so much more if only the stock block could handle it (which I think it can).

Later this year when it gets cooler with my upgraded fuel system, mosaleen idler setup, and a good tune I'm shooting for 460-470rwhp.

470RWHP = 12.1 with a good 60' I predict
