97 5.4l procharger
Hello everyone,
I worked on a project last year for my fiance its a 97 f-250 ld with the 5.4 I bought the truck 6 years ago and drove of till I bought my 2010. I rebuilt the engine (stock replacement) added shorty headers into true duals out the side and added a procharger. I didn't know if anyone else on here has done it but I'm not real happy with the way it runs. It runs great 5-10 psi boost but the rest of the time it seems short on power any help would be great.

getting 1/2 maybe 3/4 throttle (pulls strong)then it's kinda falling on it's face past that? Thats because your computers pulling timming from your MAF pegging<- just a hunch

Procharger, No
But I have had a supercharged truck for the past 10 years, I know how a boosted vehicle works.
You need bigger injectors if your still on the stock 19lb'ers, get you a stock lightning MAF. Also a TUNE! Then you may enjoy it alittle better
