Well since I cant do anything to my GXP how about my F150. It has the 300 HP 5.4 24V Sohc engine in it. Is a supercharger kit something I can install myself or a shop needs to do it. I see kits going for $4700 to 5500 for a roush kit. Anyone ever done this before?

Thanks

I have the cash in hand but not the knowledge in head.

Wow, you're so lucky. I have never done one but I know from what I've seen, I would personally avoid the ones where you have to tap the oil pan for a fitting to lubricate the supercharger. I would try to find a sealed supercharger (kinda like our superchargers).

But godspeed on your project

How much more will the blower give ya?

About 125 more HP

And how about torque? This 5.4, is it a 3 valve per cylinder V8?

yeah 3v version. I am not sure about the torque increase but its in the hundreds too.

I have driven the new Ford trucks and was not impressed. I'd say buy a 2003 Mercury Marauder and supercharge that.

Good Idea

Well figure on this. The Lightning F-150 in 2004 made 380 hp and 450 lb/ft of torque at 8 lbs of boost. That was with 2 valves per cylinder. Now take the same bore and stroke, add another valve to the intake side, a more efficient chamber design, and better runners....



I envy you for the ability to fit the 3v heads on your block and in your engine bay....

And you still have a Ford
