I am seriosuly thinking about installing a Paxton supercharger on my 2002 5.4L Expedition. I was wondering which supersharger would work best on the Triton 5.4L, and Novi-1000 or a Novi-2000?
Thaks for any advice you can give.:D

i would say the 2000 since i think it is the bigger unit and it will be able to put more boost to the engine but it might take alittle longer to build boost so if you want the power all the way from idle i would use the 1000 or the kennebell supercharger i am looking to put a charger on my truck to and it is a 2000 and i looking at the kenne bell

I'm a big fan of Allen Engine superchargers cuz I have one on my Thunderbird...although a Kenne Bell would be the bomb!!

Where in OK are you??? I'm in Moore.

the on ly thing cool about the kenne bell is you got boost right of idle and dont have to wait for it to build up like you have to with all the other superchargers on the market

That' certainly not the only thing cool about them. The whine is pretty cool too. ;)

I would trade it in for a lightning and be done with it
dont forget your sending all that power to a transfer case too
ask your self this do they make the harley or lightning four wheel drive?
with all the money you want to spend on this truck why not
get a truck all ready supercharged

You have a point, and I would love to have a lightning or like an SRT-10 but this isn't just some truck to me. It was my grandpas truck and he passed away 5 days before my birthday and it is going to be my first truck. So I can't let myself get rid of it. There is too much sentimental value. Now if my parents win the lottery, Dodge or Ford will be doing buisiness with me, but I can't let this truck go. Trust me I would love an F-150 but I chose between a Ford and a Toyota. Expedition or 4Runner. And I'm a Ford Truck guy.

Ok then one ting you have to remember the Expedition is a people haller and a tow vehicel, not a race car.
This is a 6000# truck that has a high center of gravity
agressive driving cornering will result in rollover.
Do your grandpa proud drive this truck with the same respect
you had for him when he was still alive.
You can do other things to the truck like a kick ass raidio .cool brush bar and lots more
