    Been reading up a lot on turboing a 3.4 just for the fun of it but i think im actually gonna start saving up to piece a nice kit together. Im not talking a brand new greddy kit but yeah :p ive got a lot of learning to do though before buying anything, and once i do know enough itll probably be a while before i get everything together haha

    They have one for the 2.7 also. But, if you have alot of miles on your truck I wouldnt do it. Better put a S/C on when the miles are lower

    I was thinking about the supercharger but i think i could see more impressive numbers from a turbo. Maybe if i get hesitant on the turbo ill save for the supercharger instead. But i plan on getting the urd short shifter first, then getting some new seats or reupholster, and then start saving for a turbo/supercharger. So i have a while to think about it and learn about it :)

    Reading up on supercharger info right now.

    Thanks man! Appreciate it! Yeah i understand, i decided it would be better to regear to either 4.56 or 4.88 and also cheaper. Me and my automotive teacher at my high school would be able to do the gear swap so i wouldnt have to pay for labor. And dont worry he's done it before so he knows what hes doing. :) ill let you guys know how it is, just waiting till i get paid on saturday!

    Haha thanks bro! Thanks for the good price on the coils too man, i saw that shipping cost you like $25 :eek: sorry bout that, i would have sent you more if i knew it was that expensive! Haha
