    Hello all.

    The truck has a TRD intake and DAP tune at the moment but upgrades are coming.
    Trying to figure out the most enjoyable way of upgrading. It's between getting a supercharger OR long tube headers, mid pipe, exhaust, gears and lsd first. The plan is to have it all but that is going to take a bit of time as I don't make a big hit to the bank account all at once. The supercharger of choice would be the Whipple. Is a supercharger alone a good upgrade even without a lsd? Would the driving nannies drive me nuts?
    If going the n/a route first, what size primaries for the headers? I know 1 3/4" is better for n/a applications but knowing I will be supercharged later should I go 1 7/8"?
    I wish I could just do it all at once but need to be smart about money now.
    Wanting to pick the brains of people who may have been in the same shoes.
    Thanks in advance.

    The stock exhaust manifolds flow just fine, Supercharge it and you will be happy, throw on a cat back exhaust (I would do Borla if you live in the rust belt, TRD is good if you live where there is no snow).

    Definitely SC. I had headers on my SC 2010 and it made no difference. It’s a waste of money. Get the gears and save the headers money for a real locker like the new electric one.

    Supercharger. None of that other shit holds a candle to the blower. Turn the nannies off and send it.

    Supercharger, LSD and re-tune by DAP.
    Maybe a stainless BAMuffler system.
