So i found a good deal on a used supercharger. I dont know to much about them but it is a used manacharger. I have a 07 FX4 with 35" tires and is lifted or is getting lifted 7.5 inches with 3.73 gears. Is it a waste of money for me to supercharge my truck or is it worth it. Also will it affect my 4x4 if it boost while it is engaged. Like i said im new to the whole supercharger thing but have been reading these forums about it for about 2 days straight. I am kinda on a wall and dont know which way to go. Im not looking for a race car but the extra power will be nice, i read alot of yall guys threads and seems to be some experience people up here. Plz give my your opinions. Do you have any link to any videos/pics of this done

Here is the manacharger:

its more power, it will be kinda hard on the drivetrian but i race mine in four wheel drive on the dirt, it wont be fast, if you re geared to like a 456 gears with 35's i know a fella that had em and it only raised the rpm 200. that will make a big diff on getting that pig off the line

 

thanks, got any vidoes?

 

well i did have one of me racing on the dirt but cant figure out how to get it from my phone to youtube, im going to the track tommorrow night i will be getting some new numbers and videio for ya

 

You need to re-gear to 4.56 with the 35s before you supercharge it or your tranny will be toast in a hurry!

yo phill you coming to the track?

 

Thanks for all the input, wonder what a re-grear would cost?

 

Ruff estimate,,somewhere around 1500.
Gears are expensive ( I'm shopping for new ones now) and you have to do both front and back. Plus install kits. Then ya need to pay someone to put them in.

I wish,
my rear-end is still blown.

damn its only a rear get it done no im racing matt i know he will beat me like a red headed step child but it will be fun

 

Good luck and have a good time.
Try to bring er home in one piece!

Yeah that is what i was thinking about not bad price on supercharger, but the other things will start to add up, gears, exhaust, etc, etc.

 

if your wanting performance, go w/ 4.88's wont change your rpms to much from 4.56 and will give you more pick up, and allow you to bump to 37's if you ever wanted to.

when ever i start modding my truck again (if i do) ill do 4.88's. but hopefully get a diesal before that happens.

 

do it im lifted! trans just runs hotter, id recommend getting a larger pan.. i too have the magna...

 

weazel what size tires you running, gears, etc, plz give me some info, do you do any offroading with it?
