How much did it cost you (labor wise) to have your procharger put in?

I fortunately didn’t pay for labor but I know some people who did it themselves. I was told to expect around 1500 or so.

Ever since I discovered your truck and the possibility of supercharging the Etorque 5.7 it has haunted me…. One day I will do it!

Mine is without the e-tourq & I really want to to supercharge my truck but still stuck between procharge or to wait for the 3.0 5th gen Whipple.

Harrop is also working on a supercharger for 5th Gen. I've been talking with them, and they are going to let me know when the kit is ready. Disregard the price on their website, that's for Australian not American dollar. They told me around $8,500 + Shipping. They also have a shop in Ohio.

TVS2650 RAM 1500

Harrop has given the RAM 1500 utility the boost that it needed with the release of our TVS2650 Supercharger kit, utilising the largest, most-efficient rotating group ever produced by Eaton.

At that price, not worth it to me. For $10,000 to $12,000 extra I can get a similar age 2500 with maybe a few more KM's. Much more powerful, much more truck. Maybe not quite as fast as the procharger but I want towing power/stability.

Uhm...well then go get your 2500 that has more KMs and be happy. You usually add a supercharger cause you want to go faster. I've had my truck 3 months and a supercharger or maybe even (gasp!) a turbo has been on the long term list.

Just throwing this out there. The base MSRP for a 1500 Limited is $64,995 right now. Add a procharger ($8500) plus labor ($1500), and you're at $74,995.

Or you could buy a TRX with a base MSRP of $76,780. More horsepower than a procharger could possibly provide, and it's roughly the same price.

anyone interested in the torqstorm? it's a more affordable route. also been looking at the edelbrock e force SC.

This is a very valid point. The TRX is a large truck that isn't very city friendly, ride height could be an issue, and with the procharger, the 5.7 will still get better gas mileage. Prochargers are good for an extra 100-150hp, not TRX numbers but will definitely wake a 5.7 up.

That is what I said, yes. For me, personally, a procharger at that price is not worth it.

Thanks for sharing your opinion that is completely unrelated, unless you know someone that can get the OP a good deal.

Thanks for sharing your opinion

My pleasure!

Honestly i love my 1500 lol, i dont think i can ever go to a 2500. Im not big into the whole heavy duty truck type thing and for what i do this is good enough. My initial overall though for the super charger is just because i want to go faster like ekaz said and just didnt want TRX mpg # lol.

The best deal i got for labor and parts came to around 9.5k with pro charger but i gotta play around with that number a bit haha.

Look for someone selling one. Then you could knock a good 3-4K off of that price I’m sure
