Any Updates on Supercharging Super Duty?
 

I would be very interested in a kit that Ford could install/warantee. There was some talk about this not too long ago. I thought Mike from 5-Star spoke of it.

I don't drive my truck alot at all. Not even 10K/year. I would definitely do it if Ford backed it. No questions. I would expect it to be somewhat expensive purely based on supply/demand, but still. A supercharged F350? I'm in! }>

I've actually had the the supercharger discussion saved on my search bar since the original discussion started. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...rformance.html

I'm interested in seeing what kind of power this product can add, but I'm probably wouldn't be willing to put down that much $ for a while. I'm doubting Ford would cover this thing under their warranty, since the engine was never originally designed with a supercharger in mind.

The only kit I've seen so far for the 6.2L Boss is for the F-150.

If Ford backed it, I'd sign up in a heartbeat.

Besides, I'm gonna need a little more oomph for the 35's I just ordered. }>

Came back from a work trip Thursday night to find my 15 year old stacking these in the garage:

Started a thread in the SD forum for my leveling kit/tire install (w/ pics).

They have a supercharging kit for the 6.2 in the F150. I don't see why that could not be adapted for the 6.2 in the Super Duty.

A supercharged 6.2L? That would be awesome! The instant availability of boost power whenever you need it but normal (or better) mpg numbers provided you keep your foot out of it.......what a deal.

I say this because I just recently became an owner of a 2010 GT500, and the power available throughout the rpm range is spectacular. Obviously my Shelby is a lot lighter than my F250, but with 49cuin more in a 6.2 vs. the supercharged 5.4........ should definitely run up the power a good bit. Or for another comparison, how about the new GT500 with a 5.8L supercharged.....putting out over 650hp. Ford should be able to convert a 6.2L engine so it can take a supercharger & put out over 700hp with big torque numbers too.

What a super duty truck that would make!! Of course a friend of mine is looking right now at a Whipple supercharged V10. Oh the fun.

It's not a superduty, but it is a supercharged 6.2:

a supercharger would be awesome, if i had $7000 just laying around. Also, I would worry about the longevity of the motor with the extra stress. I guess its a nice option to have if you don't have the same worries as me. Plus, you could make all the diesels out there look like Ford Rangers.

Here is the Whipple unit for 6.2's including the F250 Super Duty's

Whipple Industries

That link to Whipple is the thing dreams are made of. My wife just laughed and said, NO! :)

SC RW SAE HP: 508 :-jammin
SC RW SAE TRQ: 492 :-headbang
Stock RW SAE HP: 335 :-rip
Stock RW SAE TRQ: 366:-rip


That pretty much sums up those numbers versus stock on a 6.2 Raptor.


That's 508 rear wheel HP (not at the crank)....


Holey smokes ! The torque only goes up by a tad less than 100, but it's not bad at all.


:-jammin

And...ya...my wife would say the same thing.

Hah.

I think your math may be out abit 492-366 would be 126 but I think what is important is how flat the curve is. I am in the same boat too, I think the CFO would have problems with this but damn it would be fun hauling my 34 1/2' travel trailer.:-drink

I recently got rid of my 2011 F250 6.2 Supercrew long box 4.30 gears with 285/75/18 Toyo MT's with custom tuned SCT X3. Got rid of it because we decided to go from two vehicles to one. And the 250 was way too much truck for my wife to be driving around. I also didn't really have the need for a super duty at this time in my life. I was also a little disappointed in the lack of available performance upgrades for it. I was sad to get rid of it. In order to relieve my pain I bought a 2012 Harley Edition F150 6.2 and got a Roush supercharger, Roush cold air intake and Roush exhaust. Let's just say, all is well now.

F350
 

Interesting to see the F250 6.2 supercharger available from sources like Whipple but not an F350? Does anyone know of a supercharger kit and tune for an F350 6.2?

Under the hood there's no difference between a -250 and a -350, so I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Personally, I think the only reason Ford doesn't offer a more powerful OEM 6.2 is because it would suck sales numbers away from their diesel. The diesel is an $8,000 option alone and to lose some of that money on the table would never be good.

so whats this thing cost? I did not see a price on the site.....

If its under $8k then it really is something to look at....the 6.7 option is over $8k.....

Plus we all know the 6.7 is a ton of maintenance......super charging the 6.2 would give you a large boost in tq....this thing is making 450 foot pounds at 2500 rpm!!!! and it stays nice and flat all the way up....that is very useable tq!

Plus from the specs you can run on 91 oct and those numbers were only 8.8psi which is not much at all....I would suspect it would live as long as a stocker if it were driven normal....now I say that because if you were driving with the skinny pedal to the floor every time you got in it you may see some failure of items prematurely.

I would like to see some time with these things on other SD's to see how they hold up........I may consider this in a few years....it also greatly depands on what Ford does with the 6.2......I am waiting to see if the direct inject it.

I sent whipple an email last week looking for pricing and a local installer. I'll report back when I get more info.

I don't remember if it was the Whipple setup but I remember seeing a price for a supercharger setup for the Super Duties priced at around $6,500 a few months ago. Cheaper than the diesel option.

If they could make this kit for the
$5k price with everything you need I would probably be all over it......even $6k I would still be on it.

Yes its cheaper than the 6.7 up front costs and in maintenance!

Agree 100%.

I was on board with it and ready to pull the trigger, but went with a dirt bike instead. Gets much better mpg's than a SC'ed 6.2 would. ha ha.

You get those bags installed yet? :-X22

Haha sounds like me....I got other toys that take up my money and really fast......

No have not installed the bags yet they are still sitting on my bench.....been working on finishing out fitting my trailer for some track days this fall.....adding work bench and nice heavy duty cabinet, hell the 8k winch and battery weighs 100 plus pounds! This is gonna increase the tong weight of my trailer even more so the bags are going to be much needed!:-X06

Wow, this got me excited on a Thursday morning. I don't own a 6.2 but my next truck (a few years down the road) will very likely be a 6.2 super duty. Very nice to know that this option exists.

I have zero experience with super chargers. For those who do, what sort of mileage impact would result from adding one? Both unladen cruising speed and towing/haulin?

I just heard back from Whipple. The kit is 50 State legal and parts, labor & tax is $9600.

$9,600!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a bit ridiculous.......did you get a price for the kit only?

I would not pay for that I would do it myself.

Yeah, $7500 for the kit, $1500 for the install and $600+ sales tax. I had a supercharger on my vette 10 yrs ago and there is no way I could've installed that one with my skills. This one looks a little easier based on the pictures but you would still need to do a dyno tune. They usually charge by the hour. These prices are in diesel territory!

I definitely won't be getting rid of my 5.4 SD any time soon but when I'm ready to add another beast to the stable it won't be a diesel. It's nice to see some aftermarket support for this motor.
