The same crappy numbers as the Roush blower. Keeping the warranty will mean keeping the can tune so you will be lucky to see 360-370rwhp With a custom tune and 2 more psi you could push 400rwhp.

You cant have it both ways. Be happy that there is a huge increase in power that is still under warranty (almost 400whp, over 410tq), or you could go with a racier unit that makes more power but wont be covered when you drop the trans out the bottom.

The Edelbrock is good for 478 flywheel horsepower and 504 ft./lbs. of torque

Use the same blower with a custom tune, headers and cams and make close to 500whp.

Thats not how it works. Racier blowers. Now thats funny. The blower, which ever unit you pick places 6, 8, 10 psi of pressure in the manifold. However each blower requires a different amount of power to be turned by the motor and thats where the increase to the rear wheels comes from. The more energy the blower robs from the crank the less you get at the wheels. The TVS blower is more efficient then the old Heaton Eaton but not by much. And it is capable of producing more boost at cooler temps the Eaton. Still can't hold it's own against a Twin Screw. Further more I don't know where you get 400rwhp and still a warranty from? The stock Edlebrock won't get anywhere near that on the warranty set up. As for dropping a trans??? With a tuner who knows what they are doing it won't happen. These are very strong trans units.

I appreciate that you are a vendor and have a product to move but the price tag on the Edlebrock unit is outrageous and no that isn't your fault. Thats Edlebrock slapping a name on something then jacking up the price $2000. Not to mention that the F150 kit requires you to relocate the oil filter. I mean really?? And as for warranty you must have this installed by a dealer so there's another $800-1000. For what it's worth most of the SC makers are offering a warranty but again like Edlebrock requires you to keep thier tuning and have a dealership do the install. That means a snooze fest behind the wheel.

What did I say that you disagree with?

You can opt for a "tame" supercharger kit like the Edelbrock or Roush kit & make good power. DYNO results show 387RWHP 437RWTQ on out of the box tuning and setup.

or you can go for a more custom setup with a smaller pulley that will give you higher yields, but no one will want to put there name on it. I never said you had to run a "snooze fest" edelbrock, but if you want to keep your powertrain warranty, you have to go with one of the proven kits on the market.

I was disagreeing with your comment about racier units and dropping the trans. Any unit can be run tame and the ones for street use are very tame. Any of them can be pullied and tuned to blow the rods through the block. They're all proven kits. Heck Whipple's offering 5yr/100,000 warranty's like Roush and Edlebrock. These are base kits. $6-$8,000 after dealer install. I just don't see where 120rwhp is worth that kind of coin. And unless you can back it up with something else 387/437 on out of the box tune and blower is incorrect. Those are the numbers Injection Connection got after "custom" tuning which will void the warranty. Heres a link below.

The warranty is a joke in my opinion from all of the companies. Dealer must install, vehicle has to go to dealer for all maintenance. It's like being strapped to a lease.

i know this is another guys post, but wouldn't it be more efficient to run twin turbos? and still get the same or better numbers?... i have a 2003 f150 with a 5.4 in it and i wanna twin turbo it cuz i can get a kit from a friend for about 1500 bucks, but its made for the 302 or 351... besides that it seems pretty good... any help? i wanna run about 10-12lbs, jus wondering what size injectors i should run, turbo sizes and anything else i need to do so i won't blow the damn thing up.

Mitch686 any update? Looks like you have been ran off to me but would like an update.

Few qustions for kicks, You will be running an Intercooler...right? Also have you looked at the Water/meth yet? twin spoolers runnin threw twin coolers on water/meth should put out good numbers with factory disp. and a good tune...always a good tune..
Also what Turbos did you decide on? I dont rember seeing.

The best to ya!
