A supercharger is a supercharger it will work for any motor it's finding an intake manifold to work for your application there is guys that have made there own intake manifold on the 5.0 mustangs

Correct what I should have said is that the Supercharger KITS for the 4.6 mustang dont fit the 4.6 in the F150 due to some type of intake manifold fitment issue.

No a supercharger is not a supercharger. And no they won't work for any motor. Superchargers have varying displacments, snout lengths, bolt patterns, offsets, discharge and inlet set ups. For example the Mustang positive displacment blowers have a long snout and are postioned farther to the rear then the trucks fire wall will allow. The intake is setup on the passenger side and uses an oval shaped throttle body. The truck needs a driverside intake and a round throttle body. The Mustang sc is not designed in anyway shape or form to work on the trucks and hence the reason it will not. Otherwise someone would have built and intake and marketed a sc for the 4.6l trucks.

Oo ok i did not know that..

I have been toying with the idea of a supercharger on my truck.. I thought about building a turbo kit for the truck (I built part of mine for my '89 Mustang, T76), but I think I want to go a bit more simpler for my daily.

What PSI are you guys seeing as safe with a stock motor and what are you using for tuning?

Thanks!

Check out blown fords posts im pretty sure he has his tuned by troyer (in person duh) he even has a video of it on the dyno on youtube i believe

Yep...I've been reading up on his truck.. I was just curious if most are using a "mail" tune or actually having it tuned in person. I have done some tuning on my own (MegaSquirtII, on my Mustang). I really just want a safe tune, nothing to tempt me with multiple tunes..lol.

Troyer or JDM will do mail order tunes for the sc trucks as long as it's not to radical. They both have a ton of tunning experince with the trucks. Multiple tunes can be very helpful. A summer, winter, and towing. Or mine I have summmer, winter, and drag racing.

The motor/trans will tolerate 12psi as a general rule. Requires a very competent tuner. The fuel system will manage 10psi but it's hard on the pump so look at a boost a pump. I also recommend going straight to 9-10psi. Spending the money on tunning for 8psi is a waste as you will want 10psi within about 5 mins.

shoot im only running 6 psi on my maggie now, but im not to concerned about the speed...

That is the info I was looking for.. You covered all of my concerns and questions. I have a tuner in S. Fl (Jake Long, Power By the Hour) and is very competent. Thanks again!
