    Not really, sorry, even supercharged doesn't add as much as I think you want.

    Good question, but on the other hand I'm barely conscious there are sections. Watched Threads, and New Posts, and Search are way easier than going to a section.

    What kind of modifying would have to be done by dropping in a 4.0 v6 in, what about the auto transmission? Would that have to be modified or swapped too? Anyone ever swap a 4.7 v8?

    Sounds like you're better off just selling your truck and buying a different one.

    What works at 1 mile elevation might not work at sea level, and vice versa. We could use more air up here.
