Guys,

I just wanted to see if anyone else has done this yet? I should get the kit later next week or first part of the following.

I plan to do all the work myself, so Ill take plenty of pictures. I could only find one other guy that's posted he was doing this, but he only made three posts total and with no finished out come!

More to come soon!

I have not seen it, but I have read quite a bit about the 6.2 and boost... Just be careful with it and enjoy it, but in the mean time be saving to rebuild that thing as it doesn't like boost too much.

Do you have any links for reference, I would really be interested!

I've seen plenty of Raptors running Whipple's without any issues and Shelby even makes a Raptor edition that's powered by the same 2.9 Whipple.

Please let me know if you run across those links and thanks for replying.

Find yourself a qualified dyno tuner that specializes in F150 tuning! Cost should be between 400 to 800.00 but you will know it is right and safe for the engines weakness's.

I can see this thread is going the wrong way prehaps. I don't have any concerns about the engineering or if the 6.2L can handle 9 lbs of boost. I have a few questions about performance and drivetrain etc

But really what I was wondering is, if anyone out there has a late model Harley-Davidson with a Whipple supercharger? I've only found one guy with a Roush on you tube "Jay" but I don't have a way to contact him.

I'm not saying that at the power level that the companies sell the kit at will have problems, as they would not sell it if it blew everyone's vehicles up ... And I'll look for those links

You guys are crazy. The 6.2 loves boost.

Every engine likes boost,,, but put a bad tune behind it and see what happens. The point I think we are making here is be safe and not sorry. Don't think for one moment that if your air/fuel runs to lean you will make it home without a wrecker and a new motor. You can blow a stock engine without the right tune, so when you put a blower on you need to make sure it is right, I suggest a dyno tune over canned, email or any other tune(S) but it has to be done by someone that know the beast. I know the OP is looking for specific model info but a blower is a blower and the 6.2 L engine is not a built engine. It will have it's limits and running a 2.9 whip will be able to exceed those limits if the tune is not right. I have a mustang that many say can do 500 to 525 rwhp but I have it tuned for 485. When the day comes that I have to rebuild that is the time I will be running 735 rwhp. I could do it now, for the first block or I could do it the way I did... and have been running for over two years now without one problem.

Ok you guys are right, boost it and pulley down on it and tune the **** out of it. 6.2 loves boost and handles it great... I was just saying that I was hearing things about the 6.2s internals being weak. But time will tell as you venture down your boosted 6.2 path

mamonti

All factory motors have some weak internals... and you are saying the same as I am,,,, push those weak internals beyond there limit, (which some will say is anything over stock HP) and you may / will have problems. The truth is all stock motors are also built better than the stock HP they are rated at. The reason is simple, different drivers, fuels, temps and conditions so they need to make it dependable and stable if they want to warrant them. At the same time the Roush S/C tune is very conservative for the same reason, they warrant them for 3 years (if installed new and by the dealer). You can get more (safe) power out of them with a good tune.
