hey drew, yo phill did you get those tunes looked at yet? anyways all the supercharger kit are pretty decent but if i was pending roush or whipple, went with roush because its the most complete kit and all the lightning pulley fit it also either way you go theres always room to get some more ponys and go faster

my i ask what makes these engines so hard to get out, so you can replace the rotating asembly?

The fact that they fit tight into the bay, and that about half is underneath the "windshield wiper plastic thingy"

No,,you don't have to take off the cab to get the motor out.
Unbolt the tranny,take the hood off,remove the fan,radiator,then take off the intake-manifold,unbolt /disconnect the motor and pull it right out.

I don't think you'll here anyone on here say they wasted there money when they supercharged there truck. Can you spend less money and go faster in a Mustang? Maybe! But a truck with power is so much fun.
Especially when you blow a stage off the road.

Buy the charger first keep it around 8lbs, then when you are ready rebuild your current engine, the crank is forged so you can save money there then up the boost.
