Wynjammer S/C. By the time you bolt on everything you can you'll spend about this much money only to get less h.p. and be unhappy.
No NOS with a S/C.
No dont need a electric fan.
Underdrive pullies gain you maybe 5 h.p. top!

but, if you can't afford the s/c
put intake and exhaust, e-fan, pullies and a 75 shot of nitrous. :D

Now now... let's don't get to greedy.... If you are running a supercharger then I wouldn't put any nitrous on it. BUT if I did, which I'm sure I would, it would only be a small shot. Say a 35 shot just to help cool the intake charge nothing more. You could always look into alcohol/water injection to cool the charge though this is not really needed unless you are running high boost and need to prevent detonation.
Bottom line is: Buy a supercharger and a full exhaust. You'll be very happy! The master already pointed out that you could just take you time and pluck away with buying bolt ons and spend a lot of money with not really that big of hp gains.... OR you can save all that money and buy a supercharger.
yup yup. look around here, there are a bunch of "free" mods that can be done to your truck too.
i heard that nos is good if your running a sc or turbo. sc and turbos create alot of heat and the nos will help cool it down. I just dont know how much your pistons will like handleing all that power.
