BIGGEST supercharger for an F-250?

[patrick141]

I'm swapping a 6.8L V10 from a 05 f250 in to my 02 f150. What is the BIGGEST, MOST HORSE POWER GAINS supercharger for the 6.8 engine. It would have to be for a 05 f250

Well I know there are a few systems out there for the V-10. I know whipple has a supercharger, vortech makes one and Im sure you could find a procharger to adapt to fit. How much power are you looking to make?

whipple does make a 8.3L supercharger, i sure it can be "made" to fit in there.

otherwise i would think something in the 3.6-3.9L range could be easily fitted to an existing manifold setup...

 

[patrick141]

Im looking for as much as possible. And how much horse power does the Whipple 8.3 give?

For the age of truck your going to have to find a used kit, then see if you can bolt on a larger displacement supercharger, and go from there... or go completly custom like a turbo setup...

Ford 1999-2004 6.8L/V10/2 Valve Supercharger
Whipple Industries
Whipple Industries, the leader in supercharging performance with industry leading technology, developed this bolt-on system for optimum performance and reliability unmatched by any competitor. With the Whipple twin-screw supercharger, boost is instant allowing for more low-end torque and incredible throttle response. Power from idle to redline, a unique feature only available to the Whipple Charger. The 6.8L SC system creates incredible low and mid range torque, great for all towing conditions.

With incredible reliability and fuel economy in mind, Whipple implemented a specially designed air-bypass system that allows the SC to only take approx. 1hp to operate under cruising conditions. This equates into incredible fuel mileage and unsurpassed reliability, simply years ahead of the competition. This is only possible because of Whipple’s revolutionary interface computer system that works with the stock CPU taking care of all the necessary engine functions to remain emissions legal and maintain proper operation in all conditions. The interface system constantly monitors the oxygen sensor and knock system outputs for OEM like reliability and safe operation. If a problem comes about, the “active boost control” system will decrease boost instantly (a Whipple exclusive) so the engine acts as if it were naturally aspirated, all but eliminating undue harm to the engine. Each system offers up to 50% increase in power, while still maintaining unsurpassed reliability and low noise levels. No one in the world combines so much quality and technology into a complete bolt on and simple to install supercharger system then Whipple Superchargers. While others claim, Whipple delivers!
