Supercharged 5.7l Vortec?

[JParker2012]

I want to run this set up with long tube headers, cam, and full exhaust. What else would I need to do to run this set up with no major mechanical issues? I know it will need a new tune burned but is that all I'd need?

Fuel pump for sure and that'll be it if you find a whole kit. They are tuff to come by though.

That's what I thought, and I think Summit racing has a full kit Hmmmm. thanks for the fast reply!

hmmm....blown vortec + 35's....if you've got a 4L60e, you should start saving up to fix it or swap it out...possibly the rear end too...

This is a top-mount or underhood blower?

Boom. Here is what $300 worth of supercharger(Craigslist) and another $100 in components gets you. And you'll need a little know how and fabricating skills. This looks insane but it is actually easy and very, very cheap. An Eaton M90 from a Thunderbird SC is nearly universal it is so easy to mount. One will support around 275hp, two in excess of 400hp.

Yep, they were made for a 3.8L engine....theoretically they'd be good for use in a daily-driver/mild bbc upwards of 454ci.

That car is all hacked up. Looks like a Ford mod motor with GM style coils. Super cool build and appears to have been done on a small budget.

Yeah bolt on under hood, and I have a new trany that I was going to use with an lq9 but this set up looks promising. I probably should look for a 3/4 ton axle though...

So you like the idea of using a ford modular in your truck?
