Has anyone bit the bullet and installed a supercharger on their 3v 5.4. If so please let us know all the details. Would like to do it some day when I have the extra dough.

 

Be real careful the kit you buy will have to have boost control and ECU reprograming to control spark advance and remap the fuel curve. These 5.4 3V are very close to 10 to 1 compression.

 

The Roush system is out now and appears to be the most expensive at $5,395 but it has a 3 year, 36K mile waranty that (I think) extends to the engine. I believe this is the one that Ford is/will be selling through dealers.

The Kenne Bell system will be, according the conversation I had with them last week, avaiable in about a month. That system is about 4 grand.

The Whipple system, according the phone call I just made, will be available in "2 to 3 months" but no pricing has been released. Judging from similar kits on their website I'd guess we can expect pricing in the range of $5,500 to $6,500. The Whipple system uses an intercooler (the others don't) and, if their numbers are correct, will make more HP than the others.

All feature modifications to the fuel delivery system, including the reprograming the ECU.

 

I'm still waiting for the ATI Procharger kit to come out. With the intercooler, they are usually worth the wait. My friend works there and says they are still in testing.
