who's running a procharger on 5.4 2V?

I've got this setup. I love it.
I did re-gear to 4.10s on street tires. I don't think I would have been as happy with my setup if I retained my factory 3.31s. These centrifugal blowers run better with a few revs to keep the boost up. If you tow and have the tow package, you may already have a 3.55 or, better, a 3.73 rear-end. (I have no idea why my tow-package truck came with 3.31 gears)
But my torque peaks at a reasonable 2700rpm, so it's not a slug at any rate.
Towing a 7000-lb boat thru the desert is fantastic. I have no complaints, except that I wish I had done it a lot sooner.

5.4 w/Procharger.
Hey, thanks for the info. I put in the 4.10 gears about a year ago. Used to be 3.55's. It really made a difference in my towing capability. I'm pulling about 9000 lbs. boat & trailer, thru the desert so I really need to be sure that a Pro-charger will perform before I buy one. From everything that I've heard so far, it sounds like it will. Thanks again.
