I have a 2006 4.6L stock
are there any out there?
Superchargers, tubrochargers, prochargers? anything?
And what is the most cost friendly, but also power friendly?

oh btw,.. how is a pro charger different from a supercharger?

Thanks

roush makes a twin screw style. procharger is the name of a company. Roush sells one warrantied by ford.

if i had the money i would go with a sts turbo over a supercharger. turbos are all around better!!!

shoot... that sounds great...but are the trannys able to handle 348+ hp dependably...
not being smart just asking cause i dont know. I didknt think the heads were good for that kind of hp increase.. we are talking 4.6 here right.

i don't know if its the 4.6 or 5.4l. and i don't know if the auto can handle it or not. but u prob will need to add shift kit if there is one and trans cooler but i dont really know. give me about 2 years and i will tell u more i just applied to uti

not a problem... i went ahead and sent them an email and we shall see how they answer my questions... and then see what kind of price... I personally feel like the tranny should be fairly tuff for what kind of towing ability they have but i just dont know for a fact.. but i do know 348 rwhp would be fun...very fun indeed...

yea and the way those sts turbos sound sick i love the sound of a good turbo spool up. and as far as ppl saying that superchargers are better because of turbo lag 15 20 years ago that was true but now days turbos spool up faster then superchargers and turbo engines are more reliable the supercharged engines.

well one of the bad things about oem turbos and sc's is that noone tells the customer that they need to change the oil in them, where applicable, so the customer doesnt read the manual, such as myself, and a few miles later weird noises happen... i was a gm service advisor and i cant count how many sc's on vehicles that had 80 to 100K miles on them and didnt even know there was oil to change.

yea my sis had a grand prix gtp brand new and from bout 30k mils i have been tellin her to get it a full tune up, but she didnt and at 100k it started running like sh** and she kept askin me y and to fix it but i didnt want to cuz i had been tellin her for the last 70k. but she just traded it in after i did a lil tuneup on it to get it running good enuff.

Turbos are higher maintenance than a super charger and require more piping to install and are more expensive on the initial investment.
