I have yet to find a supercharger specifically made for a V-6 Dakota....I know people have supercharged theirs so where are they getting them from??? Also, since there is no KN gen 2 intake for a 3.9 dakota, will a kit for a 5.2 work???

Go to Speedtweaks.com Bernd there has the setup you are looking for. Not only that he has it on his V6 Dak. I have seen two different setups though. One is from Powerdyne and the other is from Vortec.
Nitros is also available.

First off, either a V8 throttle body conversion or a Flometrics 50mm Billet...and the 9# pulley.
The Sneeky Pete Nitrous System (NOS) is only to cool the intake charge...cooler air makes more power and the Supercharged (180 degree) air temp isn't exactly "optimal". ;)

I hope you have ALOT of patience. They know what they are doing but have poor customer service and turnaround time. www.krcperformance.net and www.speedtweaks.net are much better. Don't buy one of those Magnum Performace TB's especially. Can get the same work/results from one of these guys for less than half the price.

I am looking to make my V6 Dodge Ram more powerful and am considering a super charge will it hold one? I have talked with some people about other options besides supercharging, but like I said don't know that much, of course I still want it street legal, and Im not exactly rich! What would you guys suggest...
Thanks any suggestions would be appreciated.

not to piss in your cornflakes dude, but why blow money on a v6 ram? save your cash, and get either a modded V8, or a more powerfull car or truck.
you can do what you want, but i will bet that when you are done pouring money into it, you will be dissapointed with the result. IMO

as a response to the 3.9L v6 sucks comment. My 3.9L as a matter of fact makes r/t's looks like go karts. the fact is that the only good v8 that dodge make only comes in a automatic. Wich by the way only makes 190 horses at the real wheels stock. My 3.9L make 175 at the rear wheels stock plus i have a manual. My upgrades do not involve a supercharger that wasnt made for it. And im still running the same transmission, the same rear end, the engine its self has been rebuilt and modified. The v6 is smaller weights less and since my work on it gets way better gas mileage then any v8. Lets face it dodge doesn't do much for there v8 unless it a power house found in the rams even then i still turn them into dust. Right now i am making 245 horse and 310 pounds torque in the rear wheels. Wich is pretty bad considering i havent done much to it as in the modified part. Lifters Headers ignition air intake. No computer upgrade cause i cant quite afford the price of 2.18$ for gas where i live. I'll race any v8 that isnt supercharged. Of course when i get my supercharger that is made for the v6 ill be up and down the strip faster then anybody else with there v8 dakota.

Oh bye the way my dakota hits over 120 mph. it buries the needle and when in 5th gear its still rising. The magnum v8 make 215 horses and 245 horses. But when used with the automatic the horses dont make it all the way. Now the 5.2 and the 4.9 come with the manual and would be a nice deal. But then again most dealers dont sell one thats mostly a special ordered item. I looked far and wide for one and found only 3 that were 3 to 4 states away. it was going to cost me a bundle to get it to where i live. Now saving up a little cash didnt do me any good. It was going to cost me wel over another 5 grand to get it. When im done with mine ill estimating ill have about 325 horses and maybe 350 pounds of torque. Now if thats isnt nice for a v6 then what is. V6 is not a crappy deal and quite alot os sports cars have v6's in them. The nissan skyline has the potential of over 1000 hp. So who ito say the magnum v6 doesn't. Ty for reading this.

MY supercharged 3.9 is making 290 hp at the crank with a estimated 240-250hp getting to the rear wheels, the last dyno test done showed 211 RWHP WITH A SERIOUS A/F ratio problem, that has since been fixed with 24 lb/hr injectors and an additional 3 lbs boost for a total of 9lbs.
I'm planning to add a SNEEKY PETE nitrous kit
for an additional 25-35 hp shot.
NO,THESE BLOWN V6 MAGNUM'S ARE VERY CAPABLE OF MAKING SERIOUS HORSEPOWER.
PHOTO'S OF MY 3.9 CAN BE SEEN AT WWW.SCSILVERDAK.COM
I'm also the co-owner of the NEW muscletrucks.net
SO i DO KNOW A THING OR TWO ON THE SUBJECT!!

245 hp at the rear wheels on a 3.9 without a supercharger? Ya right. I suggest you have your truck put on the dyno again. Headers, lifters and an ignition upgrade won't boost you from 175 hp at the crank (which is like 130 or 140 at the rear wheels) to 245 at the rear wheels. If thats true, you must have nitrous on there or something. I said in my earlier posts that stock 3.9's suck because they do. I never said they're slow when you modify them although i'll never mod mine. I've test driven V-8 Dakotas and they would BLOW THE DOORS OFF MY TRUCK. My friends's 2000 4.7 V-8 only gets one mpg less than my V-6.
3.9 equals poor performance and poor econmony, the worst of both worlds.

jason, you consider new lifters, headers, and a ignition and a intake rebuilt?
also you noted that you have not changed anything on the PCM, but you can burry the needle at 120? thats hard to beleve. they are governed at 115mph
you also stated that it makes 175hp at the wheels stock. actually the V6 makes that at the crank, NOT at the wheels.

Bernd has removed the NX system and to my knowledge hasn't tested lately with it.
HE'S REBUILT THE 3.9 WITH A NEW CAM, HEADS, BOTTOM END MODS, AND A 60HP SHOT FROM HIS SNEEKY PETE NITROUS, ran a 14.90 last oct in Houston TX!
He plans to add a turbo or reinstall his powerdyne supercharger.........SHOULD GO 13'S THEN
IF he get's time.

hmmmmm.... he rebuilt his 3.9 with a custom cam, massive head work, hypereutetic pistons, modified intake manifold, cold air intake, 3.90 gears, relocated battery, electric fan, 24lb fuel injectors, V8 throttle body, 1.7 rr, guide plate kit, and about 43 etc's. + a 60 shot of nitrous and ran a 15.09 @ 92.2mph
before he ran a 14.55 @ 97mph with a 40 shot and supercharger...
When he was just using the 100 shot, his truck was jacked up on 32" tires running 15/16s i believe.
There's no plan to install the powerdyne because he doesnt even have it anymore
get some facts straight!!
