Check out Ford 460.com , those guys supercharge them all the time , the big block chevys were just more popular because they put them in so many of there performance cars , if they put 460s in the mustangs they would have all the aftermarket support the 302 does...JMO.....Lew

Checked out the sites. While there is some, there is not a lot of support for the EFI crowd.

No that is true - the Vortech kit is the only one that I know of plug and play for the EFI crowd. The others are roots type, I was simply using those as examples of all the places that don't sell superchargers for the 460

You could always do a custom kit for a Procharger like the Supercharger Store does (I think they have made them for the 460 in the past) and then customize the install to fit or use a standalone EFI controller. The aftermarket support for the EFI 460 has never been fantastic, but with a little ingenuity, you can make things happen.

You can say that again. Unless your looking to do exhaust and headers or shell out big bucks for the Vortech, there isn't a whole lot of plug-and-play components available for those of us who want to keep the EFI

HAHAHAHA! Good one!

Ever notice how there is, all too often, an inverse relationship between what a member knows (or, more accurately, doesn't know...) and the amount of attitude they present?

For example--the bolded section, below, was entirely unnecessary, and unprovoked.

I am baffled by this approach--what is the thought process here...is it "Hmmm, I have no idea what I'm talking about, but I'll say it insultingly, so that I sound real emphatic, and that will convince those that do know what they're talking about, that they're wrong?"

I don't get it...but I could do without it.

I know this thread is a little old, but how much power does a vortech add? I found one for next to nothing that might need to be rebuilt to add to my dads truck for a little extra towing power, but the thing needs to be reliable still. Let me know thanks guys
