To stay under your $2k budget the Whipple Stage 1 kit is a no-brainer IMO. I installed mine in my driveway in a handful of hours and it's been rock solid for over 2 years. Whipple is good about quick updates via email if needed as well.

Edit: Definitely NOT 0-60 in 4, but noticeably quicker haha

The only downsides with the Whipple kit is being able to flash back to stock when you need to and the Whipple plaque keeps falling off my CAI leaving holes. Lol

Edit: I did have one of the first Whipple CAI Not that new one.

I’ve had a couple of customers run 3.8 0-60 and 12.1 (dragy) 1/4mi out of the stock turbos on E85.

At minimum you’ll need:

1. COBB Accessport w/E85 goosetune
2. Front Mount Intercooler upgrade
Could I achieve those numbers on 93?? Sounds like it is under 2k

You will not get there on pump gas. Stock turbos will do it but on e85, so you’ll need a Cobb AP, intercooler, HPFP, and tune at minimum.

If you wanna stick to your budget, you’ll be the quickest with a Cobb AP, intercooler, and Goose e50 tune which you can run on stock fueling.

Don’t get stuck on a number. Try to find someone with a stage 2 tune that will give you a ride. A tune really wakes this truck up and if you need more the E-50 tune is amazing for a truck on 35’s

For 0-60 times I'd buy a different truck Shelby Super Snake, or TRX. Sounds like an identity crisis.
