Default Wife gave the go ahead..some ???

Well my wife gave the go ahead to do what I want to my truck so this is what I have been thinking:

Magna Charger with meth: The toybox weighs 9k and we are looking to get a boat. so I need more power.
Tranny mods not sure what yet but I know it is need. Don't want to get a new one till this one blows up. But I will make it stronger.
Long tubes and off road y pipe.

I am not looking for a low 12 second truck somthing with good power and close to 12s. The power adders are more for towing then speed. I have read the post on towing with a radix but not sure how much and if towing 10k is worth getting a radix. I can't get a diesel so this will have to be the truck to tow for three plus years. Curious what I have to save up for this that will depend on timeline. I can save 1200 a month

A stroker will always use more gas, a blower will sometimes use more gas.

Depends. What is your current gear ratio. Tire diameter? You'll want at least 3.73's if not 4.10's with ~31" tires for towing. You won't need Methanol with lower boost levels. What transmission comes in the Vmax?
Do you want New or Used parts?

Go Supercharger, I think it will fit your needs well. Sounds like you need a 500 rwhp DD and the Radix will do a good job of getting you there.

I was thinking 425 to the wheels plus and want a lot of tq. I can't really build a stroker the trucks 6 months old. What do I need for the radix. What do I need for the 4l70e to last with pulling and decent driving. Why don't i need meth? At what power would I need it. I was just thinking that if I am pulling I need to IATs down. Thanks for all the help. I have 410s already and don't want to go any higher. The truck has 33s on it. I don't need new parts.
