Talking C'mon, let's hear it!

Ok, I'm pretty bored right now, and this thought just pops into my head. If you had $10,000 to spend ONLY on your truck, what would you do? I'm talking sound systems, paint, mods, performance, wheels, everything! And this is based on the fact that you do it all yourself! (so the 10K can be totally used up!)

Also, just estimate the prices, but keep it in the reality realm.

1.) Bassani Y pipe..................................350
2.) Flowmaster Exhaust.........................120 <--really! I know the mechanic
3.) Supercharger.................................3,500
4.) 2/4 drop (G-Force)............................450
5.) 17" Spineker A/E Rims......................960
6.) 17" Low Pro Tires.............................800
7.) 70mm Throttle Body.........................250
8.) 4.10/Auburn Diff...............................900
9.) Roll Pan............................................110
9.) ASP Headlights/w clear signals........560
10.) Dark Euro lights.............................110
11.) Headers.........................................32 0
12.) White gauges.................................110
13.) Polished Silver paint job................1000
14.) Diablo chip.....................................300
GRAND TOTAL........................................$9,84 0

I think that would make me largely satified! I believe with those mods, my 4.2 would smoke a 5.4 lightning over and over!

(like I said, bored)

Joe,

I'm boxing my truck up for you right now. I'll UPS it 2nd day air with a check for 10K.

Please let me know when it will be ready. I'd like it back asap so perhaps you can FedEx it back.

Thanks,

Tom

Sorry, no turbo's for our trucks as far as I know. DEFINATELY no twin-turbo's. Actually, putting a single turbo on a twin-turbo'd car gets you more hp!
