To SuperCharge or Not
#16
SUPERCHARGE YOUR TRUCK it is very nice. It makes every time i step on the gas i get a smile. I think its worth it for the sound alone. Roush it up, i would also recommend you taking it to a roush authorized dealer. Thats where we took ours and just looking at the parts we got back, i would not recommend it for anyone who dosnt know there way around a engine pretty well.

They're doing it now. Roush had a couple of intercooled units on ebay this morning for $4,399. I made an offer of $4,200 and they accepted. The other was still there a few minutes ago. I have 1,300 miles on my truck, but it'll be a few months before I have time to install it. FTE Ken what is the deal with using the Lightning balancer vs. the accessory unit they have for the 2007-2008 models? Do you have a part number?
The stock tune works fine with an additional 2lbs of boost, but I highly recommend a proper aftermarket tune for it, especially in cold weather. The stock tune has too much timing in cold weather and the fuel pump is damn near maxed out. With a 2lb pulley you can still use the standard belt but the belt tensioner needs to be pulled back far enough during installation to require (well, not require but it makes it easier) an extra set of hands. If you get a belt one size longer it'll be much easier.

"We will have more intercooled roushchargers on eBay. Possibly as early as tomorrow. They will be reduced from the retail price so keep your eyes open for something over the weekend."

Ken,
Can you compare the whipple twin screw to the Roush Eaton rotor as far as performance and drivability differences, and differences between the kits?
Other than the blower, there is a big difference in the manifold design between the two... Is tha Whipple (manifold) intercooler that much bigger that it makes the manifold twice a deep? Thanks to you or anyone with personal experience for any insight you might can add...
