Looking to modify my 01 6.0 2500hd for torque - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Would like to increase the towing performance and have some fun with the truck. Read this as torque and efficiency are what I care about. Not horsepower. No, I don't want a diesel. This truck has low miles, the right options/colors and I only like the 01 and 02 hd body styles so I'm not afraid to put money into it.

I'm thinking about either a magnuson supercharger to add about 150ft lbs or cam/tune/headers that would probably add 100 ft lbs. The cam/dynotune/high end headers would probably cost $4000 and the magnuson would cost about $5500.

i like the easier ability to remove the magnuson should I decide to sell the truck in the future and i think it will allow more torque. What do you guys think is best?
