With the multipoint BCR gas injection I think it will be the complete package! Bugger him, got me keen with these 2 options.
1. $7,000 bolted ON TOP
2. $4,000 bolted ON SIDE
BUT, 24hours later tells me he can't find any reasonable SUPERCHARGED Kits on the market.
Can anyone help, or provide other suggestions (re-stoke bigger / turbo?)
Thank-you

I am in the process of supercharging a RRC and I can tell you there is a bit to setting them up properly.
I'm not going into detail as may result in a heated thread

I have only herd of eaton on a 4.6 and don't work all that well for cost of set up. No intercooler, not vortech etc.

I cant see why a vortech set can't be put on and set up corectly.
Lots of cosiderations... Engineers, Insurance, Drive line etc Poor ol ZF auto.
Here is some reading for you. Not all relivant but to late to be botherd sorting it out
