Since they don't make one for that engine wouldn't it be more prudent to get a bolt on supercharger kit? Check out LMR.com. They have 3 different manufactures represented.

Here are two turbos listed for the 4.6 3v.
But I’d prefer the Whipple or Edlebrock PD blower for the instant torque and OEM style integration.

That was news to me on the turbos. I should have checked Lethal performance as they tested the Whipple for the 2024 GT and Darkhorse. I think you will be a lot happier with the Whipple supercharger setup. I've used them on that engine.

I believe that Hellion discontinued their 4.6 3V turbo kit but the On3 Performance kit is still available:

https://www.turbokits.com/2005-2010-...turbo-kit.html

There are two things that I don't like about it:

1. The turbo takes up the little available space at the front of the engine. I can imagine changing the drive belt or one of the idler pulleys being a complete nightmare.

2. All of the pipework underneath the car looks like a bunch of snakes.

IMO, the Edelbrock E Force supercharger kit is the way to go. Installation is clean and it looks fantastic, though I do also like the Whipple.

Either way, you will enjoy the power delivery of a supercharger. Best of luck.
