Check out the stats for the new Harley-Davidson Edition F-150, it's supercharged from the factory. You should be able to get some ideas from that.

If I wanted to be broken on the road I would buy a cheby,
Love the lighting, but only 2 seats
HDT has only 4 seats,
the stats are good on the HDT, but this will be aftermarket so im curiousabout reliablity, dont want to be stuck in the desert

Kenne Bell makes some awesome upgrade kits for fords. Looked into making a Lightning out of a stocker F-150 last year. This was the kit I was gonna use. Installed 2 at the last shop I worked at, they go in very easy.
If you add more than 6-7 psi boost, watch out while towing uphill. Could get some serious pinging.:cool:

I had mine done by kenne belle in rancho, they told me the factory tranny was fine and their computer reprogrammed it and I have had no problems. I have the 4.6 paid $5000 also had them put exhaust on it.

Cool, we stopped installing because of tranny issues. How much boost are you running? We set them up for 10 psi.

Both. We didn't reprogram tranny. Just highly suggested. Customers cheaped out and blamed us:mad:

I'd go with kenne Belle in Rancho Cucamonga, here's his info:
KENNE BELL, INC. 10743 BELL COURT RANCHO CUCAMONGA CA 91730 (909) 941-6646
Sounds like he can do everything that you'd need and has a lot more info than me. Hey, I just install. Not paid to think;) :D :D
