Reason: cant spell
ATS and banks are the most popular both are about even in horsepower gains and that is very noticable especially at higher elevations where the air is thinner.
Now these are not cheap and you mentioned a rough body you have to decide if you are going to keep this truck long enough to make your investment worth it.
It will pull the same loads and do everything you need just not as fast.
there are also some free and cheaper mods that will give you some noticable gains in power (soupbowl cold air intake freeflowing exhaust) not in the turbo class but helps and a lot less investment.
I would really consider a Hypermax. Do a search in this forum (top of the page) and you will find several topics that cover this question more extensively.....
