Can any one help,I drive a 2001 Harley truck and very proud of it but would love to install a SC to show what a Ford truck can do.I've heard the holley is real good but with low rpm lag?Also the kenn-belle,the guy said it has no lag at any rmp.The holley I can get for $4400.oo and the kenn is around$3000.00

 

Can you give me info on a place where I can get a holley kit for that price?

 

I have a buddy at advance auto that gave me that price which I thought was high so I called another place and they priced it at $7000.00.Now he may have been wrong,so if I can make him stick to that price is it worth it?Off the top of my head the part # 300-520?Rick

 

This is for a '00 5.4... they have the holley for $5k, and a paxton for around $3k...

Hey Aquaman, The cheapest I found my KB was for $3500. Where did you see it for $3000?

 

Paid $4995.00 for my Holley SC and the Part # is 300-520. Can't see an "low end lag" in mine.

 

paid 4700. for mine at dealers price here in town, if you can get it cheaper you got a great price--take it--no lag at low end. no problems so far in performance--very happy with it. the part number is 300-520.

i also have a 2001 harley f-150, was also wanting to supercharge it so i am currently experimenting with my trans-am ram air. i just put an ati procharger on it. did the install myself but am taking it to a speed shop with a dyno for final tuning tommorrow. ati seems to have a nice unit and it looks like the install would be alot easier on the f-150. total cost for the trans-am project was about 4,200. that included extra's like gages,thermostat,etc.

 

My opinion for any supercharger would be a Whipple. They have more than just a stupid name, they are supposed to produce up to 60% extra horsepower, and be very powerful at low and mid RPM's. I'm planning on supercharging my truck before February, and I am going with a Whipple. I haven't checked for extactly what the output is, but they got the new Denali up to 450 hp.

 

Hey Aquaman. If your still looking for a 5.4 supercharger, I justed put one on the f150online classifieds. It is a Magnacharger supercharger. It is new and still hooked to it's shipping pallet. Check out the ad and e-mail me with any questions or if you are interested in it. Thanks.

well i finished the install on my trans-am..WOW!!!.. what a difference. can't wait to put one on my hd f-150. unbelievable power. it's dynoing in @ 420 but the fuel pump isn't keeping up. wil fix that next week.

 

I have been wondering about doing this to my truck and I have got some questions. Now keep this in mind, I drive my SCrew about 30,000 miles/year, mostly highway. Don't race it, but like to get on the gas pedal once or twice a day. Now my questions:

1) How much does the SC affect your gas mileage?

2) Does it put extra wear and tear on the engine? I have read some of the L forums and they are always posting subjects on blown engines or replacing blowers.

3) What SC would be best for someone who wants a little uumph now and then, tows a 5000 lb ski boat every now and then, but does not want to get 5MPG?

Thanks for any input.

 

Crash - thanks for replying. One more question (maybe more) - I in no way consider myself a mechanic, but I am pretty handy with tools and home projects and I do know a bit about cars. Would a SC be something I could install myself (with a helper) or would you recommend having a shop do it for me?? And if I were to do it myself, how long would it take??

Any recommendations on an SC based on the info I gave previously??

 

Alright Crash, you have convinced me!!! Now I just have to get the boss's OK!! Hmmm, Christmas is coming up!!!

Thanks again
