As for the loud redneck comment, lol

I don't go for the super load exhaust, you only hear the rumble at start up and then once it idles down you can't hear it at all. When you stomp on the throttle you can hear it of course, which is what I prefer.

I don't like the "wake the neighbors" type sound, just a low lopey rumble... but most importantly that it performs and is fun to drive.

Thanks for the input thus far guys... I do like the super charger idea.. and may very well look into that.
A radix in your 'hoe will make is seem like it's 2000#'s lighter. Just the ticket for making it move easy. If you want to make it sound mean, add a cam similar to the one in my sig. I don't think it adds a whole bunch of power vs a milder cam in a radix blown truck, but the sound is rightous. I have dual three chamber flowmasters. It's mean at idle, civilized at cruise, and loud and obnoxious at WOT. Bump around at the forced induction section a while. Ask a few questions. Some pretty sharp cookies there. They won't steer you wrong.

What's your budget and what are your goals?
