Ok so I am ready to order a supercharger for my Raptor. I have read (and reread) all the threads on superchargers and tried to digest as much as possible and the basic conclusion I get is:
1. The Whipple (can) make more power.
2. The Roush is quieter.
3. Other than that there really is no difference.
This system is going on to a stock motor and there will be no upgrading the motor (other than a Livernois oil pump) as I already went down that path with my last Supercharged F-150 and it was a PITA. I am going to be ordering from JDM regardless as they have been helpful with info but even they don't really push you to one system or another.
So my question is, if you are really not looking to modify the engine and increase boost from the stock JDM kits is there really a difference in what you pick??? Would I be essentially in exactly the same place with either kit other than the noise level from the supercharger? Is all else being equal Stock Roush Kit = Stock Whipple Kit?
Couple of notes:
1. I live in California with shit gas.
2. I spend a lot of time in Baja...also with shit gas.
3. I like reliability.
4. I like ease of maintenance.
Thanks for entertaining me on yet another supercharger thread.
