I'd like to get the "Big Black Girl" into the 12's.. which will require (due to the weight) approx. 500hp!

I priced out a Vortech, a Procharger, and a Whipple.. I really don't know what would be the best performer of the three.

Anyway.. she looks good with with some carnuba on that big black azz.
Id go with a KB, cam,stall, full exhaust, then al small shot, slicks and you'll still be lucky to get into the 12's with the 5.4

Slug a kenne bell on there and be done with it... don't ruin that truck. A KB will make it fun to drive, still be quiet, etc.etc... and it will tow the trailer you put your next good car on no problem..

The 5.4 responds well to a good tune and boost.

Even heads & cam 5.4's run well.. we'll see.
