40 mph uphill? Other Armada or Titan TVs?

That is the equivalent to "putting lipstick on a pig".

Supercharging WILL add considerable STRESS to not only the engine but transmission, entire drive train and even the vehicle it's self.

The extra power boost may even make the vehicle difficult to absolutely dangerous to drive IN ALL driving conditions (dry, wet, snow, Ice, and towing)..

"Too much" is not "always" a good thing.

There is no "free lunch" here.

I have dealt with this with my Dad, he kept adding and adding more mods to one of his trucks.. He did so until the point that EVERY trip he took pulling his 11K lbs 5th wheel he was catastrophically breaking his engine, transmission..

He was burning up plugs, burning holes in pistons, bending pushrods, damaging cams, breaking heads, burning valves..

All of that just so he could say he "beat" all other folks towing up steep grades.

Lost track of all the times he got stranded hundreds and even a thousand miles from home..

His truck was nearly undriveable when empty, even a light feather hitting the go pedal could spin the tires and break traction.

Then there was the money he spent on ONE truck that was totally stupid.. He could have easily bought FOUR brand new fully loaded trucks from 1980-2000 (20 yrs).. Yeah, somewhere north of $100,000 burned up in parts, repairs..

If I was in the OPs shoes (and I was at one time), SIT BACK, RELAX and allow the engine do what it is designed to do.

Yes, that may mean you will not "win" any races to the top of the hill but at least you WILL get there without blowing something up in the process.
