Sure the truck forums could give you answers fast. But would think there are already kits..sts maybe..magncharger if you went blower maybe? Custom should be fairly easy..trucks have lots of room in there.Or trade it up on a turbo diesel..those can kick big butt with the right mods..

why do u think a diesel is stupid.First it will make way more power than your 8.1 , way more torque,better fuel economy.

come to iowa. i show you. diesil freaks think they rule the land. one the other night was talking big and bad about his 2001 dodge cummings duely.( it is modded, i guess) any ways i wrecked my truck (2000 chevy 2500 reg cab 4x4, with 5 speed and 6L) in december and been fixing it (no insurance) well it was striped.(no driver fender. hood. battery box.

anyways i said i would race you with my broke truck for 100 bucks. we did and i got more parts for my truck (i won)

so diesel suck. gas rule.

have you ever seen Truck Pulls???? Diesel will destroy gas any day of the week.

But no, none make a kit for the 8.1, but whipple does make a 3.3L blower that will bolt right in,
