there are a few out there. Paxton & ATI are the top choices.

Todd (White R/T) can get you a deal on a Vortech set up.

Here's a quick run down of what's out there:

Paxton - great kit, good fuel support, strong bracket, separate 8 rib belt
Vortech - www.rtmods.com has a great kit for our trucks
Procharger (ATI) - comes with an intercooler, I'd skip the P-1 and go for the D-1
Kenne Bell - not made anymore, but you can find them used, optimizer is junk
Powerdyne - entry level, internal belt breaks if overspun, bad tensioner setup

IMO, Paxton, Vortech or Procharger are the way to go. Todd (rtmods) can get you into a Vortech kit pretty cheap, then have it tuned with SCT and you're looking at around $3k.

I just got a Powerdyne installed on mine. My truck is bone stock. It gives a decent boost in power. I am not looking for massive power, just a little more than stock. I will try to optimize the unit and don't plan on upgrading to a different blower (at least for now).

i have full bolt ons: K&N, 52mm, M1, HS 1.7's, edelbrock headers, flowmaster dual exhaust, 180 tstat, wires, and superchip programmer...im looking for something around $3k that will get me around 350 to the wheels. Im content with that but if i get more than thats fine to. Most kits that i have seen so far are $4 to $5K and thats out of my price range....i appreciate all of the help!

His e-mail is on the website, it's todd@rtmods.com The kit is basically the bracket and all the piping and stuff to install it, that's $1k, then there's a few different head units you can choose from, he can give you all the details and get you setup with what you need.

Will any brand of supercharge go with my 2003 R/T...i see that a lot of brands specify what years they are for and procharger doesnt make one for my year. 99 to 03 have the same motors so what is the difference and reason on the year specification?

The reason is they havent tested it on that year vehicle....all the dodge 360 magnum stuff is the same and any manufacturer kit will work the same way on any year r/t with the magnum motor....

What is your budget??? i can get you a vortech tuner kit complete with a NEW head unit if you want to go that route....

Then tune with SCT or tune it with an FMU or aux injector setup....
