New shocks all around and a beefier front swaybar round up the parts on the kit.

Is it Friday yet?

I second the video comment, that is an absolute must. I had a $100 digital camera prior to the camera I have now (many pics in my gallery were taken with it), which took great video. It was a Canon A85 I believe, pick one up, you can afford it

Josiah, I'm covered in the camcorder department. I've got a Sony DSR PD-150 with a bunch of goodies set up for doing videography. I mainly do hunting and wildlife, but will use it for just about anything. Here's a clip I did of my boat this summer...

Predator

I will definately get some video up for you guys. My brothers are coming to town for NASCAR weekend, so I'll have them hold the camera. Ain't no way they gettin' in my captains chair.

>"Whipple makes a superior blower... "

Just an FYI, Whipple does not make superchargers, just kits for them. Whipple simply has had the exclusive US rights for the Lysholm Twin Screw until recently.

The supercharger they use is a Lysholm which is the same as on the Ford GT.

Link to the Lysholm 2300 Twin Screw ..http://www.opconab.com/index.asp?sPa...angID=2&cID=14

Regardless it will be a TOP NOTCH system and 05RoushMarkLT will truely be PUMPED UP!!

Actually, you are incorrect. Whipple and Lysholm parted ways, which is why Whipple has been out of the loop for so long. They are now making their own superchargers and made this F-150 supercharger in cooperation with Ford Racing.

If it is made with Ford Racing would Ford warrenty (sp?) if installed at the dealer like they do with the Roush unit? If so then I will have a look into this. But how do I get the supercharger past the wife before we buy her a new car.

Mullinax Ford in Florida will warranty any truck that they install the Ford Whipple onto. I was shocked when I learned this. But it is boost-dependant. You up the boost over stock levels, and bye bye warranty.

I am hoping that if I have any issues, Ford will help back me. My service manager told me he wouldn't service my truck until I got a supercharger on it in joking when I left Alaska in January. I'll have to hold him to that now.

Lets just hope I don't have to find out!

We'll just have to see when you get down here. You are more than welcome to drive the dodge stratus I rented while the truck is in the shop.
