supercharge 5.4
i just recently purchased a 2008 f150 with a 5.4 triton. was looking to add more HP and was looking into a supercharger kit. was just wondering if its worth it or if its gonna give me nothing but engine trouble? also is it as simple as installing and tune up or do i have to tear my whole engine down and change more internal parts. new to this kinda project on a truck so any information on the subject will be greatly appreciated.

Most Supercharger kit makers know these are going on stock motors so there is no need to upgrade your motor with things such as Forged Internals because the SC dealers designed them to put out enough boost that no Motor Mods are required.
Hope that helps!
Edit: Although it is a little more expensive, do NOT buy one without an Intercooler. That is a piece that will keep everything more reliable.

I have a plain old SC from Roush on my truck without a intercooler. I have had no issues since I put it on over a year ago and have nothing but good things to say about the kit.
It cost me 3000.00 total and I am totally satisfied with the product and my truck.

Question? How much boost do you think you have with that kit? And do you have problems with preignition when runing 87 octane if you get on it a lot?
Just curious for future reference if my time ever comes to decide if I would like a SC

5-7 lbs....putting 87 octane in the tank is asking for detonation......not good.....I don't know if you can get a different tune and adjust it to run 87 or not...but roush says run 91 or better.....
