Yeah I've seen that one before, it's so ugly though. In my opinion at least.

i've been more of a fan for the Turbos. i like the sound more then the high pitch sound of SC. still wouldnt mind having it though.

I completely agree! I love the whistle of turbos. I would love a turbo expy, but for what it will cost to install a turbo and upgrade the rest of the truck to be able to handle the power, I'll wait to get my Powerstroke and then do some expensive upgrades. . . though I still wouldn't pass down a good deal on a nice blower if one came along when I had the money.

By the way NC-Expy, what wheels do you have? They look very sharp on your rig!

there was 2 GREAT deals on craigslist here. a vortech SC from one seller and a vortech intercooler for it from another seller. both for the 5.4. one guy had the SC on an expo and the intercooler was on a 150. if i had $3000 i would so do that!

yeah thats pretty cool but if you want a fast car, maybe a 6000+ Lbs FORD is not really the path you should take

Ha, I don't even wanna know how much that costs.

You'd be surprised at how affordable the swap is. We probably have between $2500 and $3000 in this swap. If you look at Procharger, Vortex, etc, aftermarket blowers run around $4500 and produce less power.

Sorry for the late reply, just saw your post... They are 18" MB-V drive wheels. Got them from discount tire for about 100 bucks a wheel. They are 9 inches in width.
