I'm wanting to see one of these on a 3.7l F150.

344 torque?


Wow that seems good,...but I'm guess the supercharger wouldn't be so great for MPGs...which was the point of the 3.7 hahah.

Exactly. What's the point. Get the EB already if you want more power and more potential headaches/

Sorry, thought the power increase was impressive. Not trying to get into the Eco BS here. Just said I would like to see a 3.7l with something like that bolted on it.

Any one running a 3.7 4x4 with a 2" level and plus sized wheels/tires. If so what size and how did effect performance and fuel economy? Any pictures? Thanks

Do you mean to tell me my stock XL 3.7 doesn't already have one of these under the hood? HA!

My dealer told me my 5.0l had one but it was the internal type and a secret so I shouldn't tell anyone. Oh crap....................forget what I said.

Not sure if I posted this. My 3.7 4x4 towing 5500 lbs . The biggest challenge was towing for the first time. I looked like an idiot trying to back out of the U-haul parking lot.

KBS, how did your rig do towing at max listed capacity? I tow a 2,300# boat often and hardly know it's there (excpet for my MPGs!) Thanks

The trailer empty weighs 2300 lbs. Like you said, I didn't notice it back there. With the car loaded, I definitley noticed it there. It did pretty good considering it's a V6. I was able to accelerate and keep up with traffic no problem. But the lack of torque really showed. It was very slow off the line but once I hit 2nd gear it accelerated smoothly. Since then I've also towed a 16 ft enclosed trailer weighing around 5000 lbs. I got really bad mpg, I guess because of wind resistance.
