After installing a new re-man’d 5.4 2v in my ‘03 EB, I’ve put about 5k miles on her working out any more write-ups. I went with JBA headers, eventually replaced both cats, and while I was there just threw on a Magnaflow muffler and rolled stainless tip. I’ve kind of fallen in love all over again. This truck sounds just like my dad’s ‘99 Lightning, which he’s owned since new. Of course when I get on it, it doesn’t have the legendary twin-screw whine of the Eaton supercharger like the Lightning, but all else sounds the same!
So that got me to thinking, why not supercharge the ol’ girl? I wouldn’t do a Lightning mod / swap for the Eaton. I’ve seen write-ups on the web, and it looks significantly more involved. I’ve seen Procharger kits of yester-year, but not sure if anything’s still available today for a bolt-on kit.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions that wouldn’t involve massive supporting mods such as internals? I Magnacharged a 5.4 3v years ago, that’s still running strong over a decade later - sold it to one of my brothers years ago. Just thinking of more fun with this ‘03 Expy.
