pnblwzd Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Get an inexpensive and lightweight tonneau, like one of the offerings from Extang, and put the rest towards the blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eamonnschevy Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Be Honest with yourself... you're a guy and all guys love to be Blown procharger no question!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixsupersport Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 you must "protect the box" hehe, i would choose to have a protected box before being blown..............................imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 What the **** kind of question is that? I don't mean to be a dick but uhhh a cover for things in your truck bed or a freakin blower!!!!!!!! Any one with half a brain would get the tonneau in a heart beat. I can see where hes coming from though. Its not JUST a bed cover. Its NO mods, the question that should be asked is if I should save up all my pennies for a long time to get a blower or get "x" amount of things which $6,000 can buy a lot of things...wheels, custom interior, cover, sways etc. Everyone has thier priorities But I can see why he is asking, its a lot of money involved. Of course a outright choice between the two would be the procharger. But its not like that. ;) Anyways my votes still for a blower...that would be effin sweet!

air force vm Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 I say get the charger. Why are you going to need the cover? Speed is the name of the game out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman31 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Go for the Procharger! Buy a cheap soft tonneau for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montanass Posted February 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I think i'm gonna hold off on the blower. Since the truck is daily driven, a tonneau and some rims would be a little more practical than a Procharger. I've given this alot of thought, and as much as I agree with most of you, the blower would be a no brainer if I didn't need the truck as a DD, however my hot rod is sitting in the garage, so maybe I'll slap a blower on the big block instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 I say the tonneau cover. As you may know, getting the Procharger will only magnify the already weak tranny we have so in essence, you will not only be getting a Procharger, but you will also need to upgrade your tranny, a tune, etc. I've been down this road before and felt I would be way in over what I thought I would spend from the begining. I would rather put that money into a SBC or something like that. My truck is my daily driver and I don't need things crapping out on me, especially considering my truck is an '04. Who wants to drive a new truck that breaks down all the time? Not to say that will happen, but it needs to be expected. I agree. Even though I really want a radix, I will never get one cause there is no way that I could afford all the other things that are going to break. I say get the cover and if you have anything left over go ahead and do the tranny upgrades(since, from what I've read, they suck on a stock SS too). Tranny is next on my list to be on the safe side. Yeah, I just marked radix out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 If you are willing to resist the temptation to mess around with the tune or do other mods, the Radix will be fine for a long time. I have 60,000 miles on my SS and 57,500 of which have been supercharged. It is when you start messing with torque managment or adding a bunch of power from something else, that you will break the transmission. Pretty soon I will have my SS paid off and save up a transmission's worth of money, then I can start doing some more power mods... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faceliftedss Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 i got the perfet idea i'll paint my tonneau to match your truck and give it to you in exchange for a blower! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
