Depends on what type of supercharger you are going to use. On a truck, I would use a twin screw type like on a lightning. Check with Kenne-Bell to see if they still offer one.
The headers will help some but the supercharger will give you about 120 more HP.

Not too sure about twin-screw superchargers for the '05 250.. but Whipple may have one, as well... I'm told that at 6psi boost expect 50% gains over stock number, as well as full boost at 2000 rpm with a twin screw.
The headers will make a nice compliment to a supercharger and will add to overall performance, but, by themselves, don't offer the kind of "bang for the buck" most people look for when going for power.

I don't think that the F250 got the 3V engine in 2004.

They got it in 2005.

Thank you for catching that, Jimmy... for some reason I was thinking that the 250 was upgraded when the 150 switched body styles.
This may mean you're even more limited in supercharger offerings, though, Craig.

So, here's a couple of questions for you: how much do you have to spend, and what are you trying to accomplish?
