>>Hhm also - has Powerdyne Superchargers gone bye bye? They used to be sold
>>on Summit - can't
seem to fidn them there... not on JEGS either - and their applications
listings pages are not
around?<<

Maybe they finally bit it after blowing up all of those engines.... or maybe
the people who are serious about performance got real blowers by reputable
companies =)

Haven't heard much from Paxton either, and their kit for 4.7's has been
discontinued...

>>would 4.56's wake it up and get it back in the power/fuel economy
band? I googled this and determined according to a tire size/gear ration
calcualtor - that my
tire change should have a corrisponding axle ratio of approx 4.48 - which
the closest size
would be 4.56. Pros? Cons? Whatever thoughts etc?<<

You will definitely feel a difference with 4.56's. Gears are a great
upgrade, but make sure you get a good kit that includes a pinion shaft,
otherwise you have to have a notch machined into your exiting one which will
leave the truck laid up for a couple of days and cost you about $100. Don't
slouch on the gears, otherwise you'll be spending twice as much fixing them
over and over and over.
