Bang for your buck...mods!

Ok guys i am a new owner(3rd) of a 2008 5.3 v8 regular cab truck 2wd. Has just under 59k and sets on 22 inch rims. Has 4160E tranny and 3.42 limted slip with the stock size rims(17) but with the 22 it is like 2.63. Looking to mod it up some. Let the suggestions begin...

Supercharger.

So, what is the tire size on the 22s?

I am not sure i will have to check. Trk is at work waiting to get a few things done. Ok what am i looking at on cost and what kind of performance am im getting with a supercharger/black bar tune? Would it be better to do the rearend?

So then explain this axle ratio change, please... ? You stated it was numerically lower with the 22s, but you don't know the tire size.

When I put underdrive pulleys on my 5.7 it woke the engine.

Congrats on the new truck.

Agreed.

The ratio shouldn't change unless the overall diameter changes. Your wheel size means nothing if the diameter of the tire is the same just with a different sidewall height.

By doing what? Slowing down the alternator and the power steering pump?

Sorry. It is a 3.42 with 17inch rims. Still the same gear ratio but now has 22 and it is recab. for the rims. Those size rims(17 to 22) make the gear ratio seem like it is a 2.63 though it is 3.42. Make sense?
