So I was cruisin' ebay and came across this..
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2004-...Q5fAccessories
Now I'll admit I'm new to the boost game but here's what I'm workin' with.
I've got a 2006 f150 5.4 Scab that's currently 6" lifted with 35/18 combo. A few months down the road I'll be at 8" with 37/22 though. I will be looking to run 8lbs boost at the most which I believe I'll have to upgrade injectors for? If that's true, then what else in addition?
Is there anything wrong with this SC that anyone see's with some more experienced eyes? How nice are the Magnas? Will this be a good kit for me for the future set up I plan on accomplishing?
Another option of mine would be a ROUSHcharger for about $800 more. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks guys for taking a look,
Will

New fuel injectors come with the kit, I believe they are 39 pounders which I would think would be enough to handle your demands.

Love it! In the process of converting it over to a 2 belt system based of the lightnings so I can push between 8 and 20 PSI boost (with a built motor). Its more expensive then the magna weighing in at ~ $4800 but I wanted the Whipple mainly because its a twin screw, 2.3L, and I believe I can convert my truck to a Lightning belt system and use pretty much anything they do with minor modification.
Thus when I bought it I planned for more then stock out of it.

My 6" fabtech on 35s sits at 44.25" on all 4 corners. So I bet yours it at least 47".
