RE: Supercharger vs 5.0L Forged Stroker?
got mine for 2200 shipped
Eagle Rods and crank. Arias pistons ARP bolts.
Dont forget new gaskets, etc...I got all mine from ford for $340. If you go all ARP plan on double that

Not to mention that N/A is always trouble free.
You can also reduce the cost if you just buy the rotating assembly instead of a short block.
BTW I've wanted a turbo or supercharger for a long time but FINALLY decided to go with this idea, (450rwhp N/A) and before someone says it's impossible or not streetable let me remind you that many has achieved 350rwhp with stock heads,displacement and compression ratio.
Here it is:
1) CAI = 35 rwhp
2) Pulleys + delet plates = 15 rwhp
3) Long tube headers + off road X or H =25 rwhp
4) Stage3 Comp Cams = 25-30 rwhp
5) PP heads = 40-60 rwhp
6) A 5.0 stroker + compression 11:1 = 40-50 rwhp
7) Block strengthning (main girdle) + windage tray = 15 rwhp
8) Throttle body = 5-10 rwhp
9) Improved cooling also helps.
And we are still waiting for an after market Intake Manifold...

Supercharger = $6000.
5.0 Forged Stroker & Heads = $7000+ with tuning.
Cost of just keeping the NA motor is $7000. Cost of blowing your boosted engine = $13000 since you are going to forge after.
Unless I am lowballing the N/A work.............anyone have a good "total cost" price point for your built engines?

you CANT stack advertised hp gains.
It doesnt work that way. For every pro, theres a little con. so all in all, you would probably have 400 rwhp, maybe 415 out of all that, nowhere close to 450.

So, we are looking at $2300 for just rods, crank & pistons.......vs an MMR short block for just over $3000 (aluminum block). Seems the better deal is the short block.

RE: Supercharger vs 5.0L Forged Stroker?
I drive 18-20k per year have had my KB for 10 months and not 1 issue. Your not using boost until you punch it, so go with a TS SC and you will have the option of upping your boost for as little as a $70 pully. Do all that work for N/A and I think your going to regret it.
The TW SC setups are VERY reliable.
