Supercharger for F-250 5.4l 3V Triton
I am looking to gain some additonal power from my F-250 and have been doing some research on Superchargers. Does anyone know if someone makes a Supercharger kit for the 5.4 3V I have in my SuperDuty? I learned that the 5.4 in the Lightning truck is a totally different engine than the one in the SuperDuty. There are several Superchargers for that engine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

When you say the F150 kit did you mean anyone's? I have been looking at the Kenne Bell Big bore 2.6 kit for the Lightning, but I understand the intake manifold on my 3V 5.4 is different than the lightning 5.4? who's F-150 kit are you referring to?
Thanks for the help.

I would temper that by saying while, in general I agree that a 3V 5.4L F150 supercharger kit will work on his engine, there are a couple of primary things to be aware of
1) While the basics of the supercharger kit may "bolt right on", I'd imagine there may be anywhere from minor to major "replumbing" for lines, hoses, etc on both sides of the equation (truck and kit)
2) You will need to work with a competent tuner shop to build a custom tune to accomodate the supercharger in your setup.
Don't get me wrong, it's not rocket science, but I just don't want anyone to get the impression that all you have to do is go buy an F150 supercharger kit and slap it on over the weekend in your F250.

No they are not,and even Comp states that tuning is required to "get the most" out of them. Comp could care less if your vehicle runs at it's optimal- they simply want to sell cams,and if it means stating half-truths,so be it.
