I would love to get a blower! Could get te funds but just don't know that much about em and I don't think a blower would be good for a 5.4 with 167,000 miles

Just have compression and leak down test done first..... That will tell you if your enginge is health enough for boost..... With higher milage i'd just keep the boost low, like 8psi...... I'm wanting that ironing board flat tq curve..... Will be awesome for a tow rig.

Non-intercooled you are going to be limited to what it does for boost though, which iirc is 5-6psi. I guess theres always meth...

Yea, if I were to go that route it would need some work.... I'd send the blower off to Steggy for a full stage 6 port, with there light weight rotors..... If I could find a intercooler kit for it, i'd get Steggy's venom cooler mod aswell..... Then run a Killer Chiller insted of a heat exchanger...... My only thing with the Roushcharger is it's just a tiny Eaton M-90....

And I'm debating on removing the 14 inch magnaflow off and just pipe it out before the right rear tire. Truck still has 4 cats so I don't think it will be too loud. Kinda looking to immatate a farm tractor so to not spook the deer..... What do you guys think? Next year I plan to add longtubes and a SLP cat back.

DUDE, we all have the mod bug... Plasti dipping the emblems is cheap and easy too. Tinting the tail and head lights- cheap and easy
