Not to burst YOUR bubble, but 95% of what the OP is asking about I asked about years ago. The answers I got then still apply, nothing has changed. I posted links to everything I said to back the claims up, you must have not looked though. You thought your opinion was worth wasting my time.
There isn't anyone running a turbo/supercharged/nitro/rocket powered/Thoughts and Prayers/Nuclear powered Excursion (Modular motor) on here. There have been some attempts but there isn't the room for everything (realistically for the gain). It's extremely hard on the motor, and the heat that's generated isn't sustainable for actual driving.
So kiss my *** on that one.

The Dyno Pull
The Burnout
Some close up view of the engine
There are also several more people with the rare but existing Kenn Bell, and Vortech Kits on them, and another guy with a pro-charger on his. Geee, i thought you said they don't exist tho?
Enjoy your humble pie *****,
oh and here is one with the rare kenne bell kit

Keywords "rare". Those aren't options for him, they aren't available. Just because a few people have done it doesn't mean it's a viable option. This 16-year-old is pulling parts from a scrap yard and has no idea if the cluster even swaps. He claims to have a 6.0 but wants to waste money on a 5.4? Wants to run forced induction or a motor swap to 5 different motors but has no idea which (Only that he wants one of them). He's just dreaming and you decided to be a keyboard warrior and act like you're somebody. This is just a huge thread of hopes and dreams.
If you want to continue this we can PM and exchange numbers and work something out but this thread isn't the place for you to show your ignorance. You know half of what I've forgotten.
TTYL Sweetie, I'll See you next Tuesday

Oh, check my join date/post count. Does it look like I don't read everything on this forum? It's all 75% the same but with different members asking the same things. Nothing ever changes, the motors are the same as they were 20 years ago and no new things have come out. It's the same for every vehicle like ours. This isn't a Civic, you can't just "mIlDlY bUiLd iT" and expect it to work.
Also, does he have the money/time to have his POS sitting on a dyno fo a full day tuning and programing everything? Didn't think so. You can't just slap a turbo on it dumba$$.

I’ve driven a ken bell and vortec supercharged Ex and underwhelmed is my take away. On the other hand i have also driven a 700hp LsX swapped Ex and it was a hoot but it was also a $40,000 race motor and a $6000 race trans.
bottom line is the Ex is just a poor choice in vehicle platform to base a hot rod off.
work to the vehicles strengths not its weaknesses. You can not shed enough weight to make the Ex a hot rod or sports car no matter how much HP you stuff in it.

Something I looked into that I know for a fact nobody on here has thought of was an electric swap. I'm on a few sites for homemade electric vehicles (we already have one electric car) and was even thinking about that. Having the first and only fully electric EX is amazing but stupid at the end of the day. After months of research and trying anything possible it was just a wash. It would have been as unusable as anything he's wanting but that's kind of the point of asking. Digging your heels in and saying "Let's make this work!" when it never will is just a waste of time.
