Neal thats what I am starting to understand through my stang friends who are switching to turbo setups. Guys I'm not knocking superchargers, just waying out all the info.

 

The power required to make 15 lbs of boost with a turbo being less than a supercharger the turbo will always make more power than a supercharger at the same boost levels. By extrapolation a turbo can make the same power as a supercharger but at a lower level of boost.

I guess the Ford engineers had it all wrong when they went with the root sytle blower .

 

HI!... From a efficiency standpoint they were totally wrong. The reason they went with the SC'er system is it is 10 times easier to install on the assembly line. It's compact. I know this due to I asked the engineer this exact question when I went for a tour through both the OAKVILLE F-150 assembly plant and the engine plant here in Windsor.

 

take the time to run all the piping on everything truck or just stick a blower on top and be done and still have a very fast truck from the factory? you tell me

Theres a 2000 lightning engine for that price on car-part.com JMC w/86,000 . Absolutely no info on the motor except a company called B&B is selling it. You have to email them. That's it tho - all I could find..The companies website is pretty much a dead end as far as info as well.

Found an 01 -http://www.frenchsautoparts.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi

Again , no info - that sucks. They want a little over 1200 for that one - all I know.
