Well i've got to make a major truck decision.
I drive a 96 indy. So it's not exactly a new truck anymore.
So I want to do prolly one major mod.
The paint on my truck is pretty scratchedup with lots of rock chips.
I don't have too many performance mods.
It also sits at the stock height.
Most people are telling me that I'll prolly be the only one that would notice a new paint job because most people don't pay that much attention.

So what do ya all think?

Paint Job?
4/6 Bell Tech Drop?
Supercharger? Truck has 200,000km stock engine.

Personaly i would do the drop first and then probaly paint it if it's noticable to you, but i would definitely do the drop first.

I agree, drop it first. Better handling and looks, more noticeable than an updated paint job. Motor and tranny might object if you add a blower to it with that many miles.

I would have to modify it, I like power when I need it.

I'm with GG here. Paint is usually better last. To tell you the truth, I would look into installing a new engine all-together. I think that you got your money's worth out of your current engine. I definitely would not add any kind of forced induction without an engine rebuild. Kep us informed about what you decide.

I am a more go than show type myself!

The blower may be a bit much...but there are alot of other things you can do!
