I'm looking forward to how it goes. I'd like to super charge my 5.4L someday.

Well my truck is low miles and I figured instead of spending 10000 to upgrade to a newer Eco or 5.0 why not S/C it and have something pretty unique and be pushing 500 HP . Love my truck and did not want to get rid of it ... figure I will love it more after this week . Lol .

looking like it could be running tonight ! Install has went pretty smoothly . Mechanic said that one of the bolts on the 4WD adapter bracket was a real pain in the ***** . Took him 20 min at least and that is with a hoist . The other issue is that it didn't label brackets and took a while to figure which were the alternator ones . Alternator actually mounts on with the housing facing grille and pulley facing motor .
The instructions have been very detailed and it has been a good install but many steps . A hoist makes it much easier . Glad I got this installed at the shop but have been around so I can work on it and understand what has been changed in case of a problem .

Going to get it dyno'd before and after custom tune . Also lined up with a couple of different trucks just before the install so i could get some real world results not just a seat of the pants comparison . Should be able to give you guys some accurate feed back .
