    dont listen to these guys take those shorties, and flip those shorties upside down and slap some turbos on them and get you a rossler 80e, and thats all you need and a tune.
    Name: Mark,
    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    I'm going to one up EVERYONE. And just say don't mod your truck.

    If you REALLY want to waste a LOT of money, just go forced induction. Seriously don't screw around. You're going to say, oh I want to save money I'll just do a cam and stall now, then nitrous, then remove all the stuff you just installed and go forced induction.

    So, don't mod huh. This means you would sell your truck for its value plus the FI setup you have. Too many guys are saying don't mod lately but I guarantee you that these same guys would cry if they had to drive a stock truck. Not really directing this to you David, just was a good spot to put it in. It is just money and you can't take it with you. There is no substitute for enjoying SPEED!!!

    However, Ducky is right. Find you an FI setup and get started, never look back. So glad I started out this way so I don't get that regret feeling that the old timers around here feel lol. And by the way, the "list" never ends, I am FI and basically happy with my setup but for some reason I am getting an entire new setup and shopping for parts in other tabs as I type and I just got this setup dialed in right....

    Yeah I would probably sell it, if I could get into money back on it sure, but I doubt I would LOL. I drive a honda 80-90% of the time, so driving something slow isn't bothering me too much right now. Yeah I love speed and love going fast, but there are a lot of other things I got going on now that I want to have the money for.

    I guess the main point is, don't nickel and dime the truck in the beginning, really save and read up for what you want. Better cost effectiveness at spending a boat load of money haha
