a supercharger and a set of long tubes is the way to go for torque.

NO WAY YOU WILL EVER OUT PULL A SUPERDUTY!!! a superduty needs only a $400 chip and $150 intake and will always out pull our trucks with tons and tons of mods to us. they are diesels, turbo diesels at that...make gobs of torque...hahaha out pull a superduty in a half ton...that's funny.

Change your rearend gear to a lower gear and you'll gain some pulling power.

low gears, wide tires and a blower and youll show those superduties how its done.

and get some weight in the back for traction. that helps more than anything as far as pulling is concerned

hey slow, super duty doesn't mean power stroke. most super dutys around here just have a 5.4 and are slow as F#$K.

hey slow...
my uncle has a 4wd crewcab short box superduty with the powerjoke. has a chip and nothing else done to it.
with my pegleg with bald *** 235s and his slick slick road, i smoked him.
yeah so we both spun about the same distance, but i still beat him by several trucks.
it will freakin run for a huge truck though. imagine the power in an f150 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
i plan on running him soon as his new 03 king ranch comes in in january... i believe it will have a 150hp chip installed b/f its off the lot, if not then, soon afterwards... if he can hook he should roll me... nothing a little gigle juice cant fix.

btw the giggle juice makes more torque than a s/c setup i do believe..... just look at some of the dyno posts in the nitrous forum...

brandon, he's talking about out towing a superduty...you don't use giggle gas to tow with. and a superduty with a quadzilla chip and cold air will out pull a supercharged silverado with 4.10s long tubes and bolt ons all day long. not that a silverado with that setup wouldn't pull hard, it just wouldn't be as good as a superduty.
just my .02

I have to say the powerstroke in the super duty will be hard to beat. We use one to pull a 48 ft enclosed trailer with 5500 lbs of racecars and another no telling how much for roll away tool boxes,tire racks, living quarters, and so on. all We have is like slobaknobyo said a k&n and a diablo chip
