Low Budget Supercharge options?
Hey guys
I have a 5.4 F-150 4WD. I am new to trucks and want to gain a little bit of power. I don't have an eco-boost so theres no easy gains.
I want to gain a fair bit of power but without heavy modification. Is there any low boost supercharge that I can put on without beefing up the engine and tranny? Any advice would be nice
Thanks a lot guys

You won't need to beef up the engine if you stay under 9psi. You will need bigger injectors (they came with my eforce kit). The trans is good for 590 lb-ft tq so you will be ok there. As for going low budget, maybe you could find a nice used unit. I've seen them in the parts for sale forum.

Three words you never see in the same sentence, low budget and supercharged. Your only option and best bang for the buck is a custom tune.

1) Open your window.
2) Stick your head out it.
3) Step on gas, and simultaneously yell out "vroom, vroom vroom".

There's an old saying, "Good, cheap, fast. Pick two."

Aeroforce intercepter guage. This is with the stock 93 tune from edelbrock at about 5200-5300 rpm. Not sure how accurate the hp number is. I haven’t had it on a dyno yet. Edelbrock claims the eforce will make 478 hp with their tune. Fly-wheel of course.

^^^THIS^^^ best advice yet, going SC will lead to you'll want more, and more, and more, broken parts, high performance parts, break more parts, blah blah blah. I have the hat and shirt from my plan to just SC my car......70k later........
