If you have the money go twins. They are hard to beat. For all around driving, towing,hot rodding,spool up, and lower egt! I have small towing twins and i am very happy with them. People like diffirent thing. Some things work great for me but the next person hates it. So find a good shop thats not trying to take your retirement!!! If they are honest and truly care for your needs you will never go wrong because they will help make it right!

Doesnt matter if you go with a tested name brand set of twins you will be happy. Mine never surge, bark, after getting the intercooler boots cleaned to remove the film on them they no longer pop off. And I find it hard to get alot of smoke unless I lug it, or completely plant it to the floor from a stop. And then it still clears up very quickly. Do some research, and if you have the cash pic a set and run them. Good Luck.
BTW, how does your truck run against the SRT-8? Those are nice looking Jeeps!

Sounds as if you're going to be making some rather large withdrawals from your CTD account...

i here that BD has there new twins out soon. Talked to the local shop up here in calgary, alberta and they said that they have them working on a few different trucks, but they want to build them cheaper. the way they are set up now will cost ppl to much to buy.

I'm running the BD Intercooler. I believe it's good to either 120 or 150psi.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
I did my twins with the intercooler, so I dont really know the total drop. But I can tell you with my set up it takes alot to get my EGT's up. On a normal day I dont see 1000 unless I lug it up the hill by my house.
And my GC SRT-8 is nuts. I have never had anyone keep up with me. It will blow my truck away barring a 4X4 boosted launch, and then still I dont know. People can say what they want, and hate on my Jeep but untill youve driven one its hard to relly understand how quick it is. The best thing is I have only seen three since we got ours last year.
