RE: SUper Charger
you would by lucky to make that much power with the frpp blower. from what ive heard you would be better off going with a vortech or kb if you want to make any kind of power.

RE: SUper Charger
cant think of any write ups off the top of my head but i know they are the cream of the crap. they are cheap, yes. but you cant make much boost and its very un efficient. i think ive seen people get 50-60 hp from them.... so your not looking at much at all. i suggest a better option but thats just me... if you want 400 rwhp your gonna need full bolt ons and an intercooled/aftercooled setup between 8-10 psi.

Its junk, and while it looks good at 2450 that isnt anywhere CLOSE to the amount of money your going to need to spend. Add in the injectors, fuel pump, maf, tuner, tune, plugs, filter,belt, etc etc etc and it will be much much closer to 4K by the time you are all done.
The vortech tuner kits start around 2500, and thats bascially what you have, a tuner kit from ford minus all the stuff needed to run.
You can get complete kits, like the MPH mongoose kit, for around 4K and it will make FAR more power than that pile.

the frpp blower is derived off the m90 used on the tbirds and gm 3.8s, i have no idea why ford thought it would be efficient enough for something with much larger displacement. frpp blower= junk.

RE: SUper Charger
its cheap and like everyone said you still wont spend that price only since theres fuel upgrades you will need and other misc. parts that it'll all add up and you could've gotten a vortech kit for cheaper.
