Depending on what look you are looking for you could get a small lift and put some 33” AT’s on it with some pumper. But remember there are pros and cons to everything you do. Like bumpers add weight. Lift raises the center of gravity. I do like the supercharger idea.

I thought it was poetic, given your signature block.
