Do you know how much HP/TQ gain on your setup? How many miles did you have before the SC install? Thanks

I installed the Borla at 2,000 miles... the SC at about 14,000 miles.

The exhuast sounded great but made no difference that I could feel in performance.

The supercharger 100% changed the truck.

We didn't do any dyno testing and I probably won't unless I can find it for free.

All the information I really need to know I get when I step on the gas. It's really easy to blow people off at stoplights.

Cruises on the highway effortlessly at 80mph.

Downshifting on the highway and hills is now very rare.

I think faster, it goes faster. No downshift, no struggle.

More than anything it reminds me of a BMW 318 I used to drive. (This is high praise from me)

The entire driveline is just very stout and competent.

I have the feeling that it would be really hard to notice an extra 35-50 HP in on the road driving.

Next step up would be to do one of those predator 800HP diesels... That would be really sick!

Start with the supercharger. You may find that you are totally happy with it. If you aren't you can easily add things like headers and other goodies later.

Remember the 80/20 rule. 80% of the benefit usually comes from 20% of the effort/expense.
