which way would be better for the check book putting a 5.4 in it or sell the supercharger and find one for a 4.6. How much difference is there between the 5.4 to the 4.6?

well since you already have the 4.6, just sell that supercharger, and get one for the 4.6. I would be interested in upgrading my blower... if you decide to sell it, let me know!

that's a big difference in torque. It's a pretty easy swap to a 5.4 I hear?
