Supercharging the 5.4
This is going to drive me nuts 
I researched this whole site, and visited several manufacturers on the web. Is there ANYONE who makes a bolt on roots type or screw supercharger for the 5.4L Triton??
I had a paxton on my mustang, and for what I used it for (creating a public nuisance usually) it was great. For my 99 350SD however I want the low end torque and power only a roots or screw based supercharging system can give me. Centrifugal chargers as most of you know only really come into their own at higher RPMS.
Whipple would have been my first choice, but despite the "coming soon" tag they have on their website, they tell me it probably will never come to fruition ARGH!
5.4L Tritons are everywhere, yet no one seems to have addressed the supercharger market for it. Very frustrating. If ANYONE knows of a manufacturer or retrofit kit, please let me know
Ahhhh I feel better!
