Did you check Vortech? They are sorta the "Flowmaster" of the supercharged world. Best bang for the buck and God knows they have enough kits and setups.

It you cant find anything, nitrous is always a cheap way to go. Its there when you want it, and you dont need to always run premium like you would on a s/c or a t/c. or check out STS turbo. They have universal kits and you f150 guys have a couple tuners available so custom tuning shouldnt be an issue.

There's Vortech, Magnuson, Eaton, Whipple, Magnacharger, SVT, and Roush just to name a few.


Are you looking to go with a twin screw type sc or a centrifugal sc??

Yeah nitro is a cheaper way to go but also gotta consider having to refill the bottle. If you drive like I do, that would mean a trip once a week to the store and $40 bucks to refill a 10lb tank. But should you go with the huffer gas, gotta decide if you want a wet or dry setup....

Well not trying to be rude at all but the v6 really limits your options.
