welcome to the boards..... and I'm sorry you havto run that Rouch tune it just blows! once you get a good dyno tune the truck wakes up big time I have the Roush kit running 8lbs of boost I tow my boat in the summer so I think I'll stay at 8lbs, as for your heat exchanger look on E-bay find one off a cobra or a lightning and run 2 check my pics.
Thanks for all the infromation.

I ran on the Roush tune one time for about 5 miles till I pulled over and put the Custom tune back in, I got the little supercharged emblem off ebay I want to say they were around $13 shipped, since then I now have the 09+ emblems on.

I have noticed that too, it seems like I have to give it a lot of throttle to get the boost to come on.
Can't wait till Tuesday to get this truck right. The guy that is going to be doing the tuning does a lot of the nascar guy's cars. I am in NC if your wondering.

If you ever plan to drag race it let me know. Theres at least one other NC member batn68 who wants to get together and have some fun with the trucks one weekend. Of course it has been a while since we talked about it. If there are any others chime in.

psi boost
subdue...i got an 04 F150 5.4L FX4 a daily driver and i put the whipple sc on it...i have the 6-8psi safe range boost and already had the tranny rebuilt and alternator replaced...mind you i also have 187 000 km on mine... so who knows if the cause was the blower? iam assuming but at that high milage a stock engine part or tranny could go too. I wouldnt go more than 10psi but 8 or 9psi to be safe.
