Welcome to the site. First off, are you looking to go the supercharged or Turbocharged route?

Sorry, misread your quote. You said "isnt really for me" and I was retarded and thought the questions you were asking were not for you when you ment the 100 shot wasnt really your deal.

Anyway, what do you plan to do with the truck? Give us as much information as you can so we can help you out.

Here is a link with some reading for you

i plan to use the truck still as my dd, that's what i bought it for and that's what i will use it for. having an outrageous amount of power would be nice, however i know that it will hurt the wallet severely and i would prefer to not put that much into a daily driver. im not looking for record breaking numbers either, just something that i can have, such as a turbo, that i can get that power when i need it.

thanks for the links by the way.

A couple of our site sponsors sell very nice turbo kits, KBracing and Trick Performance. I would give them a shout and see what all options they have based on what you are looking for.
