Don't know that you would need to regear with the added power.

 

No but, I'm hoping to regear for relatively inexpensive one day. I know some people in the wrecker business around here so I'm hopeful to get a deal on some factory 4.3's.

That is a much more realistic expenditure for me, then a supercharger kit.

Also I'm in Canada, so the dollar, shipping, border costs. Makes that charger kit quite a bit more expensive more for me.

 

Been meaning to post these, they came from that link

So it has been done, sure would like to hear from the guys that did it.

Dad is talking about retiring and selling his work van. He has mentioned a supercharger a couple times, and the van would bring most of the money it would cost. A supercharged 4.30 geared regular cab in gem green, that would be a 3/4 ton sleeper.

 

Oh man. I'm seriously hoping to do this one day. My wife found my note from when I called the other day and gave me the 'what's this for!'. I said, 'The truck'. And she hit the roof. Lol.

 

One time way back when I had bought a set of Dart SBC Pro1 aluminum heads from summit and one day I walked into the kitchen and my wife had the checkbook propped open showing the carbon copy of the $1100 check I had written.

 

How is it that the guy who installed one of these on his Super Duty isn't a member of this forum?? Would LOVE to ask him some questions.

 

Yea I didn't end up buying the truck. They were asking more than a new truck and they had multiple offers on it. It was for the wife the majority of the time too and she didn't want to listen to the drone of the exhaust. But damn that thing could move not a ecoboost around that would come within a mile. The average mpg was sitting around 14mpg I think over quite some time on the dash and it was in good shape but on a FX4 luxury package truck. Not that that is a bad thing. The ford dealer that had it does the roush installs and offers full factory warranty with it installed. I got the ok on the wife for the next truck to get whatever I want so my next super duty maybe a 6.2 with a supercharger if it is still around in 2 years .

 

Was this a 6.2 f150 or 250 you are talking about?

 

From the original post, it was a 150 he was looking at.

 

Duh..... Long week. Yeah, I bet it is a beast. F150 regular cab 2wd 6.2 supercharged. That should be produced as a lightning.

 

For lack of a better word there is just no lag whatsoever. You touch the throttle and you get the feeling that you have a ton of hp and torque ready. I even went back to drive it a second time because I liked it so much. I am saying Ford should do that from factory with the 3/4 and 1 tons but I realize it would eat into their diesel sales. Guess i'll keep dreaming for another year or two I hope I can make it that long.

 

No doubt, I'm not the first one here to watch this YouTube video. But I'll post it up anyway.

Yeah, yeah -- I know it's *just* an F-150. Probably 2000lbs lighter than a Super Duty. But, my oh my, how I do love the sound of this thing.


Would like to see a video of a supercharged Super Duty with 10,000lbs in tow going up the Ike Gauntlet (or something similar).
