What are you using your Raptor for? Is it a street queen or do you plan on using it off-road? If you're staying on the street, go ahead and supercharge away. If you plan on going off-road, stay away from forced induction. It will just add headaches as other have already said.

You could get a lot more for your money elsewhere. If I go F/I it will be turbo....but I don't think you can make a Raptor fast on the street, so why bother. I wouldn't buy a Mustang personally being a GM guy, but hey...GM doesn't make a truck like the Raptor, so you got to give Ford props on building a far superior truck. Hell, I think there entire truck line-up is better than anyone else out there for that matter.

This is like when you wake up in the middle of the night to those commercials for the pills that help you in your manhood area...ya they might actually work but they have a much higher probability of leaving you worse off than before you took them. I would rather run what I got than take a chance on a late night infomercial or Hennessey...but that's just me

I'm glad someone asked because I was wondering the same thing about Hennessy just recently. What about fuel economy do you take a hit with a blower or no?

All I can say is I LOVE my roush raptor! I only plan on doing some mild off roading a few times a year so it works great for me. I think I saw someone say you can't make a raptor fast let me tell you ride in a supercharged one and I bet you won't say that again.

The only reason I wake up in the middle of the night is to see if I'm still smiling from the fun I had driving my raptor that day! Lol!

Depends how you drive...you are not really worried about fuel economy on a Raptor much less one with a blower?

If you are..I think you have already answered your question...

Not being a smart ass...just saying you might want to spend your money on other mods...
