GREAT THREAD!!!
I just got to keep it going. I didn't know there were OTHERS on here that supercharged and liked having a fast truck also.....
I have my Roush Nitemare, which has won 3 drag racing events against Mustangs. Stock! But it is time to move up the power chain with it.
But I also have a GT500 and 98 4V Cobra with a Kenne Bell
I am VERY familiar with the Mustang side of the Superchargers, but I am learning alot from you guys reading this thread on the F150 side of things.
First, I can't afford to put a GT500 motor in my Nitemare, nor do I think I want to. I think the 3V in my light truck has all that I need, if I build it right. I am running high 12's stock.
I have experience with Whipples and Kenne Bells on my Mustangs, and I absolutely 2ND the opinion of going TVS because it is factory fit. Sure, you might squeeze some a "little" extra power out of the other brands, but every kit I have gotten from Whipple or KB has had some sort of fit issue and needed to be customized in some way. The kits are never 100%. TVS is heck of a blower and it does fit like factory. The extra few hp from the others is not worth the headaches, time, money and loss of reliablity. Don't get my wrong, they are good companies and they work pretty well, but if you have the TVS option available, use it.
BUT here is my question.....(I have lots more)
Someone mentioned that you can put the Whipple 3.4 intended for the Lightning on the Roush manifold??? Is this just a guess? Or can someone point me to where I can find out about it? I was going to pulley and Port my Eaton, but this is a better option. TVS isn't an option here.
