    If you want a wolf in sheep's clothing you need a turbo, supercharger or nitrous. You can't have it rocking and humping like dogs in heat if you want someone to think it's just stock. A little whistle or blower whine will only be heard too late.

    But if you want the best bang for the buck, I would start with a good cam. Not only will it give you a performance gain, people will wonder what the heck is making your truck lope like that.

    STS would be cool, but here in MN I dont think I would work well......Cam what are ya thinking for a cam....I want specs. talk to me bro's!! If the truck makes a lot of noise I dont care, If it sounded like a 1969 nova SS It would be great in my book!!
