I'll have one of those eventually. Once I get it, I'll have a permanent smile on my face

Why would you buy something that wasn't fast enough for you?? It would have been a lot cheaper, safer, and more reliable, to buy something already designed and built to be faster. Besides that, you would have a warranty!

Hey Bob if you got something that was already set up the way you wanted it and didn't need anything else done you would't have an excuse to get out of the house away from the wife. Geez, I've made up problems with my truck in the past just to get out. It's usually only once a month I have to do this. I helped a buddy put SC on years ago in his Chevy. A supercharger could take a weekend or two to complete. Take alot of pictures so you know how to put things back together. It's also good to have help as they are a little hard for one person to position while working over the engine. Good luck

yeah see soem dont understand.. i bought the 3.0 cause it was little cheaper... plus my dad has the sport trac with smae motor and it runs nice... so figured why not get something that i like... also i love working on cars and trucks so it givs me something to do.... and as far as i know ford doesnt even offer a supercharger for this motor so how could i have bought it from them that fast... also i lke the rangers size so i didnt even look at the lightening...
