Hey Kevin,
Nice to see more and more WA members around here....
We're forming the Washington Chapter of F150online.com and have 21 members already. I'd love to add you to the email distribution list. I realize you're on the 'other side' of the mountains, but if you're coming over to this side - let us know ahead of time. Maybe we can meet someplace along I-90.
So far we are still getting organized. We've had two rallies already ( pics are at http://content.communities.msn.com/i...SS97FordsPics) and hope for a few more this summer. There are no dues, fees or other costs (except for those last minute modifications).
You, and any other Washingtonians, can email me at TColegrove@excite.com if you'd like to be notified of events in the area.

Hey kevin3636,
You probably know this already, but just in case, you can't use the regular Superchip with a supercharger, you'll need to have it updated with a custom program. The regular Superchip has too much timing in it to be safely used with a supercharger, and there are other changes that need to be made as well. Since your truck is an automatic, you will also need to have more "headroom" between the WOT (wide-open throttle) upshift point and the rev limiter, so you don't bounce off the rev limiter on WOT upshifts. With the supercharger, the engine gains rpms in first gear much more quickkly, and the transmission will not have enough time to complete the upshift before the engine gains enough rpms to hit the rev limiter. So there are a number of changes that need to be made to make your Superchip work with your superchager.
Right now racing season is on, so figure it will take 10-14 days to get the custom program done from the time it's submitted.
If you haven't already made arrangements for this to be done and would like some assistance, just get in touch with us, and we'll be happy to help.
Best of luck with your installation,
