How much $$ above the SC kit did you have to spend. (Injectors/chip etc)
Do you do any towing with it and how is the day to day driving.
How long have you had it.
TIA.

Go to the Whipple web site and you will find the kit for the v-10. Around $4000 dollars.

The Whipple Kit includes a couple of injectors that are installed in the intake and richen the fuel /air ratio as needed.
With the whipple kit it is designed to work with stock exhaust manifolds as well as stock injectors. A year ago they did not offer an intercooler for the V-10 or SD. But now that Ford builds and intercooler for the 6.0 diesel I am sure that one could be adapted.

The 7.3's had intercoolers also. I think it's usually water to air for blower type superchargers. A small radiator is basically sandwiched between the blower and the intake, cool water is circulated between that and a bigger radiator out in front of the regular radiator, ac condensor, tranny cooler, etc.
The Air-Air intercooler works well with turbos, and Paxton style superchargers.

I was saying that Whipple did not offer a inter cooler for the V-10.
No air to air, or water to air. But that a factory 6.0 air to air could be adapted.
The Whipple is a Twin Screw, positive displacement, at any rpm, type blower.
The Paxton is a centrifugal type, meaning its a fan that blows air IF it is spinning fast enough.

I agree, but I'm saying the whipple is actually bolted directly to the intake manifold. Kind of hard to get the hot compressed air through the intercooler before it gets to the manifold. Unless you mean using the ford intercooler as a water-water. Should work, all that would have to be fabricated is the piece that goes between the blower and manifold, and whatever hoses. The piece that goes between the blower and manifold will be a bit tricky. The body of it has to be strong enough to support the blower, and have basically a radiator inside. The drive belt would need to be longer. I haven't measured one, but there might be a clearance problem with the hood.

I agree again. But it's still next to imposible to use an air to air with a whipple type supercharger. Water to air is the way to go in this application. The 6.0 and 7.3 intercoolers are virtually identical, one might be a bit different in size, but they both mount and work the same way.
