getting ready to prepare to SC the truck...
#51
Honestly - on a personal side.. I wouldnt even bother SC'ing this engine - your far better off pushing for 300 HP with straight engine.. a.k.a - V8 Swap - You coudl do it for far cheaper, hell.. for 4500 bucks you could run a built Explorer 5.0 in your truck and it woudl push way more power then a wimpy SC'ed 4.0

thats true, but thats a lot of fab work i dont wanna do. i can install the supercharger in a day or weekend. but the motor will take far longer. and thats longer then i can afford to have the truck down. i could drive the grand prix. but i need to get it smogged and renew the registration. money that would take away from whatever i end up doing. maybe a v8 someday. but for a truck, the supercharger will make me more then happy

Im more afraid of your undercarriage stuff under there.. I've seen the pics of the twisted rods from prior rangers doing this - and your running a lifted truck... oof I dunno, woudl half freak me out down the road when parts start getting worn and somethign blows up - honestly - I think a part will blow up, its just a matter of time whether its 10,000 miles or 50,000 miles :-(
But, if you do end up getting this done.. then kickass.. As much as I woudl grit my teeth if it was my own truck - I still have a big ol soft spot for a supercharged ranger :-D

yeah the wiring is the biggest part
and im not doubting something will break. its only a matter of time. always is with a modded vehicle. when that happens, its an oppurtunity to make it better :)
and woods rider, im guessing around 2500 after all is said in done. but we shall see. thats why im buying parts as i go. supercharger first, to give me some motivation, then saving up the 1600 or w/e for the rp caster kit
then i need to worry about a tune. possibly some maintenece on the blower, and whatever else i might need.
