For the "drive by wire" we are planning to use Ford electronics in our throttle body.

The kit is set up to make 500+ with what is included with the kit. The only exception would be to reach those levels the fuel system would need another upgrade.

4.6 guy here, wish I was in your area, you would have your truck. I'm going out to sea soon and that would work great. I am sitting here trying to contain the thoughts of a kit for my 4.6l Can't wait until the day you say here it is and its cost is .... then one arrives at my doorstep. There is actually a glisten in my eye right now.

Some updates on the kit to date....the magazines were in town and were here during a complete install on a 99 GT. When done it went on the dyno, and at mid day it made 375 rwhp, no tuning other that is shipped with the kit. Next morning, cool weather it made 408 rwhp by 398 torque with some tuning. It works well.
A 99 Saleen in NY with some ported heads and Stage II cams made 500 x 520 torque at only 12 pounds of boost.

Wasn't this a thread about a blower for the 4.6 new body style trucks? If so is that kit any closer to production?

I am in Vancouver, but I have a 2000 5.4, If you are looking for a 2 Valve 5.4 to test with, let me know. It's currently running a Pro-Charger, and you could compare on the dyno if you'd like.

I have a 04 newer body 4.6 and live in CA. I will be going to OR and WA around the end of the year. If you want to talk some more shoot your email address or number to call. Maybe we can work something out.

It would be so nice to have a reliable, relatively in-expensive supercharger option for my 2008 4.6. I will be watching this thread for updates.

I contacted Ron about using my truck, and he wrote back that he was going to talk to the president of Tork-Tech and get back to me. So hopefully something is in the works.

wow now that I bought a truck with a 4.6 I found all kinds of info on 4.6 2 valve positive displacement superchargers

$3800 for an innercooled eaton 112 on a 4.6 2 valve engine isn't too terribly bad (plus there's options to buy the kit with no supercharger so you can add a whipple 3.4 or kennebell 2.6

So does this mean you have one installed on a 5.4L and if so, any pictures, specs?

Some company needs to man up and make a supercharger for the new-body style 4.6l's.

I'll never understand why they wont. You'd have 100% of the market. Everyone who has the 4.6l and wants a supercharger would be buying YOUR charger.

Even if it ended up being a little pricey, I would hop on it like an inmate on his wife during a visit.
