Sorry but I forget if you have a 4.6 or a 5.4...lol
I was also worried about all that weight on the plastic intake manifold!
I was hunting for a 99 5.4 intake. They were aluminum intakes in 99.

Hell yea on the supercharger! Definitely good luck with it!

Good luck also with the wife. I went thru the same crap, with things I bought for the truck! Started with the lift, then the tires, then more lift, then bigger tires, an then another set of rims, etc, etc. An then ended with a divorce!

Well I got approval to "buy" a supercharger last night.

She was pretty drunk but I asked her about 4 times with my buddy as a witness!

I told her a few days ago that for my birthday this year, she didn't have to buy me anything, she just had to let me buy something on my own.

I wouldn't tell her what it was, I just told her it was BIG. And I kept stressing big thinking she thought I wanted to buy a harley or a old muscle car or something.

So then I finally told her last night when she was having fun and I was dancing with her. (which I pretty much hate doing)

I said I found a hell of a deal on a blower and it's normally 5K so she said go for it.

Well I guess it's time to get this project going. My tunes came in today.

I'll ask again. Anyone have one 42lb injector laying around?
