Here is an idea that has not been explored:

buy a late model truck and add a supercharger. I have a friend with a 2005 Chevrolet 4 door, 4x4, 5.3 liter and a Magneson Supercharger. The truck makes over 600 horsepower. He gets in the low 20's unloaded and in the middle teens loaded. He does not pull much at all and designed the truck for a good driving street truck. The mileage is about the numbers I get with my 2006 Dodge 4 door 4x4 CTD.

I once had an Acura Integra that I built a turbocharger kit for and the increases were incredible. Stock, the car made about 190 horsepower. After adding the T3/T4 hybrid turbo and all of the associated parts and a year of tuning with a program I downloaded for free from the net, I got the car around 400 horsepower and increased the mileage by a few points. The car would run like normal with no boost but, would take out Corvettes when boosted. It was a lot of fun.....

Any type of boost either turbo or supercharger will add much more air than the engine can suck in and therefore increase its power potential. If you drive it right and not like a teenager with dads truck out on Saturday night, you can have power and economy.

By the way, this is the reason I purchased a Dodge with a CTD. Turbo charged Diesel It is the best choice right out of the box for power and economy.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
