I have been looking at different performance options and it seems that the absolute best thing for performance without tearing apart your motor is a suoercharger. But after looking around I found what should add around 100 to 120 hp and would be all motor meaning no losing power after boost. It is a head and cam package i found on http://www.rpmoutlet.com/. What do you guys think? I think it would be close to s/c f-150's and with spray would be really bad ***. Has anyone on here done this? If I were to get this it would save me a couple grand over the s/c option!

 

It all depends on how much money you want to spend. The heads are a great way to get power, you just have to be careful when selecting a cam. Get a cam that's too aggressive and your driveability and longevity will suffer. Adding a supercharger is a easy way to add hp, but you can't put too much boost on a stock engine, 7 or 8 lbs at the most. You have to set a goal, say 500 hp, and what you intend to use the truck for. If it's going to be a daily driver/street truck, you don't want to sacrifice the longevity. Research the different ways to add hp reliably. The quick and cheap route will usually be full of problems. A good starting point would be port and polish the heads, a mild cam with upgraded springs, maybe some better valves. A cold air intake and an aftermarket exhaust will help it breathe better. A larger throttle body and mass air sensor followed up with a computer tuning should get you some considerable gains. That's just my opinion on a good starting point.

 

HI!... I'm all N/A. #'s are in my sig.

 

masone, that thing would really cook with 4:10's in the rear.

That mod's worth every penny and then some..

 

Really? I did not find the package you refer to. In this case the actual product is not the big money, but the installation labor will be much higher for the engine work than the installation of an s/c kit.
Will you do the work yourself? There's a used Rousch intercooled kit for sale - s/c forums $ 3K - so much simpler.

 

I know what you mean after installation it would probably be pretty close in cost but at looking at the s/c's i think i would rather have the whipple... Besides the warranty deal what makes the roush better? Not trying to make anyone mad just wondering. It's not a package I would have to buy both separate, scroll down and you will see the heads. http://www.rpmoutlet.com/04f150cam3.htm
