There's a Vortech E-Trim supercharger on ebay right now, would something like that be suitable for my Expedition?

That's the one. What if I got something like that?

you would need brackets pulleys and an FMU (for your application). You would also use the stock tune and be able to run 6lbs of boost safely.
I think that one is a reverse rotation which means the pulley would be in the rear when mounted on the truck. All of the truck kits I have seen use standard rotation superchargers.

So I wouldn't be able to use the Superchip with it?

too much timing with boost and the chip......

Alright, so I could sell my superchip to help pay for a supercharger, but how much do you think it would cost to get all the other parts necessary to install it?

that supercharger on ebay won't work because it is reverse rotation...... You might be able to find a complete kit for around 1500 bucks or so used..... procharger, vortech and paxton make kits for your truck I think....

Alright, I'll keep my eyes peeled for one. I read the article on the Procharger website that basically bashes Vortech's superchargers. They say that Vortech overrates all their products. Could that be true? Here's the link:
