Hey i saw that on ebay yesterday.
I am pretty much of a noob to superchargers. Could anyone tell me if the hp gain from superchargers is permanent or do you have to push a button or somethning like this to have the boost fo lets say a minute or so.
Next thing is what about the gas mileage. How much more will the engine need when equipped with such a baby?
And last but not least - what about the lifetime of the engine? Will it decrease drastically when running a supercharger with your V6?
Thanks guys.
I hope someone will soon buy such a toy, install it and give some feedback/clips from it while running.

1. No buttons to push. It is always "on".
2. If you don't push it, driving nornal will generally yield normal gas mileage. If you push it...well, you can imagine.
3. Again, if used with sense and restraint, there is no damage to the engine. But, as you can imagine, when you have all that power, it is dificult to always practice retraint. But that is what it comes down to. If you consistently push it to its limits, it can be unforgiving to the engine. But there are many, many cars that have come stock rom the factory with a modest SC and never suffered a hicup. If you did install an aftermarket SC, you would play hell getting a Ford dealer to honor any engine related warranty. It's all a risk, but no necessarily a high risk if you aren't a lead foot.
Holy C_r a p ! A V6 Supercharger!
) the will surely have perfected the chargers for the V6.
