This will cause my ride to struggle a little bit on power and causes it to jump into 3rd gear. I am rocking the 4 speed too though, so I know that the power distribution will be different if you have a 5 or 6 speed, so keep this in mind.

I have been researching to see what is going to be the best option for me to fix this dilemma. I want to avoid the supercharger based on the ridiculous cost, so I am looking into the following: a turbo, a custom tranny, any little upgrades like a throttle body spacer, any other custom works to get the added muscle I need to roll at higher speeds. If it comes down to it and I end up having to go the supercharger route, than I will more than likely buy a new crate engine that is more powerful than my existing one and spend the $5 G's towards something that won't blow up.

Then again, I am always open to feedback from you pros out there who have been there, done that...

Get a DMAX conversion!

Consider this....The GEICO commercial with the little piggy flying down a zip line of a snow capped mountain - Just before he passes the chump on the opposite zip line, he pauses and says "Pure Adrenalin...Weeeeee....Weeeeee?Weeeeee" That is the exact feeling you'll have after driving a DMAXed H2! GET A MF DMAX conversion!!! You will not be sorry. 'Nuff Said!
