That's great! I love boost. I love my V10...
Seems like everyone talking about (or actually having) boost gets the idea that 10psi is the "minimum"...
I had a twin turbo mustang 5.0 that was a thrill to drive, even at 0-2psi... As it boosted above 5psi it was basically useless- wheelspin in any gear except 4 or 5.
Please post pics of your supercharged V10 (engine pics).
Yes, we need pictures of that motor, lots of them. And details on the mods and tuning please. Do you tow with that beast? I would love to see the torque for the 2000 - 2400 RPM range, that's where my motor lives on the highway towing.
No pretesting done. I upgraded the headers when I did the blower install.
I towed with it when the larger pulley was on, it was a huge help. I had enough power to use OD, gas mileage is much better as long as there is no positive pressure. This pulley basically moved my boost down 500rpm at the top end. I don't need much, I wanted some air when I pull over 5000'.
I tried a lower starting point, the truck downshifted went instantly to 5000rpm...I let off and split the throttle body connector.
Why is it every time someone claims to have a supercharged or turbo'd V10 they never post pics? And when someone asks to see pics, the OP conveniently bypasses the question.

I agree.
But in his defense the dyno sheet appears to indicate a substantial increase over stock torque and hp.
My local tuner was on vacation, Don Lasota tuned it remotely. I'm using 39lb injectors and an 05 slot maf(it pegs at 4600rpm now.) I was thinking of doing a BA5000 and retune but these heads are pretty much done at 4500 anyway.
The new silicone piece will be in this week along with some other parts. I finished the evap canister relocation today(kids are back to school yeah!). I also made some heat shields for the headers.
The trans one took some editing, but it's on and shields the oil cooler from the header now.
Seriously though… How much money do you have wrapped up in that supercharger kit with all the ancillary parts? Did you have to upgrade any of the fuel system parts? or ignition?
