All of which would make it look even better! Nice pickup. These must just be under those P plate laws?

To be frank, thats the better option. On a car like that you dont want third party or any other dodge insurance, and it was probably hard enough for you while its stock! keep it clean, get a good record going and then go nuts IMO.

That doesn't mean you have to keep it stock, by all means do the usual mods.

Power-to-weight only goes by figures released from the factory. So even with a supercharger its still under the power limit, but obviously illegal as not engineered.

Although one of my mates did get done because the cop found his dyno sheet on the backseat
