but my guess is you will be neck and neck with the 150 or 200 shot.
You can also do things to reduce your race weight that will help, take the tail gate off, spare off etc...

HI!... Actually on a reg cab short box there is no drag without the tailgate. That's only a concern on long boxes. I've seen vids of trucks in a wind tunnel and the air comes off the roof and just clears the tailgate on a reg cab short box. The long box the air comes off the cab and hits the bed floor about 1FT before the tailgate.

The guys not going to keep pushing the nut after he's made his point , common - a blown 5.4 against stock 5.4 - That's at the very least a 30% gainer in HP over stock -
He was owned before they raced - It might be true what he's saying about the spread , But Joe Supercharged wasn't WFO.
Stock 5.4L =260 FWHP 350 FT lb's Torq
Blown Harley = 340 FWHP 425 FT lb's Torq
Where's he gonna catch up?
I see

A few hundred here on a Tuner, few more there on pulleys and fans... you'll get there man; it's better to get all of those small (and sometimes not so) upgrades before buckling up a supercharger anyway.
As far as what Joe Supercharger said about "get a real truck": hahaa let us not forget what a "real truck" is fellas; I'll hook a ****** strap up to one of those pretty little Harleys anyday!! They're very nice "vehicles" but barely a "truck"
Short answer: Save your allowance like the rest of us man.
