In case you were in the market for a supercharger system for your 5.0, this might help with your research:

Now we need a turbo one LOL.

Nice job! Some tempting options there

 

BTW OP: Great list i've been hoping for a comprehensive list like this.


Paxton looks like the right choice for me.

 

Bumping this thread because I have a relevant question.

Some sites it says the FRPP/Whipple supercharger requires 93 octane and others say 91. I'd like it to be 91 since no one sells 93 around here. Anyone know for sure?

 

The ford whipple supercharger wants 91 octane. I have it on my '11 GT/CS and 91 runs fine. I will say I can tell a slight improvement with 93 though

 

Just wait till you get 10k miles or so on your transmission and you can get that awesome supercharger whine sound for free!!!! /sarcasm off

 

I was pretty set on a Kenne Bell 3.6LC set up but then decided I wanted to keep the Boss intake so now I'm going with a Procharger F-1C 12-rib system.

 

Whipple......F.....T.........M...........F.....W!! !!!

 

The warrantied, 7 psi, 525-horsepower Whipple / FRPP kit requires 91 octane; the non-warrantied, 9 psi, 624-horsepower kit, on the other hand, requires 93.

 

KB 3.6LC? Wow, that's an awful lot of compressor on an otherwise-stock 5.0L (or any engine, for that matter). What are your plans with the car?

Nice choice on the Procharger.

 

Sorry to raise an old thread but I have a few questions to clear up. Now I see on the FRPP site that the 525hp Whipple kit is warrantied but it has a warranty on the supercharger itself. So how about the warranty on the car itself? If it doesn't cover the car at all it seems I might be better off getting it installed by a shop I trust vs Ford. Only because I know it will be ridiculously expensive through the dealer. I know alot of you have installed your kits yourself. Unfortunately I don't know how to install kits like this and I'd rather not screw up my car.

 

I believe the 525 kit comes with a 12k warranty that replaces your existing power train warranty when ford installs it. The problem is ford wants waaaay too much to install it.

 

This should give you a decent idea on labor. My dealership estimated 10-12 hours labor when I asked last summer on the Roush TVS. My local dealership is authorized Ford Racing and Roush so I can imagine it may vary from different ones. If you have the cash then it's worth it for piece of mind having the warranty. For me, I'll try it myself when I save enough for the SC.

 

I wouldn't want my timing cover being ground up.

 

What do you mean?

 

Those who install a Whipple kit have to grind certain parts of the timing cover on the engine. You wouldn't have that problem if you go with a Procharger or Kenne Bell kit. Although, I will say, those who install a Kenne Bell kit must cut away part of the inner fender well to make room for the intake filter and tube.

 

It's not an issue...

 

Don't discredit a centrifugal guys. Did a little research tonight on the procharger and Vortech. Vortech definitely is more efficient and produces better gains.

 

I just wouldn't want to do it or have it done. I'd go with a different kit personally. I know you're happy with your Whipple.
