I'm thinking PIKE's 460 suggestion above is a good idea. Or maybe a different truck alltogether.

I still think a big *** turbo, supercharger, and nawz would be an excellent substitute for cubic inches.

True... but having to put premium in the tank all the time could get expensive on a daily driver.

And a turbo of course. Just for good measure. 50 psi here we come!

by george that sounds like a plan so lets get to it!!!

wait i say we bolt the cranks together or make it like a W 16 and run a chain across the cranks like the timing chain then have a hub in the middle so u can mount a flexplate or flywheel

Can't you just add some stick on flames to the side to increase the power??? Or what about those stick on "air port hole" things which look like air intakes on the side of the front quarter panels I have been seeing around here...those should add at least 50hp

Man you guys don't know anything about making a truck fast , the crane cam stickers never do much , you need the flowmaster stickers , not the little ones but the big ones , you got to have atleast five or so plastered all over the place , then your talking HP !!!
