Also look for transmission failure in the not too distant future, no matter which upgrade you do.

Welcome to the forum

you have to ask somewhat realistic questions. Placing a $5K limit on it severely cripples possibilities but like said above, a used Magnuson Radix will run less than 5K and give you more power than your transmission will hold, potentially

You should be able to find a good used Radix MP112 for 2K~3K. A lot of members seem to be pulling/selling theirs and upgrading to the new TVS Magnachargers.

Welcome and be prepared to spend some dinar o...HP is addicting.

Get a low mileage used 6.0 for less trouble and bs, but yes to all of the above.

placing a spending limit on boost is setting ur self up for failure before you even begin imo.. to do it properly and safely sometimes is over 10-15k
