I run my truck pretty hard in the Baja Desert with a supercharger. It is a lot of fun. Do I need it, NO WAY. I just want it. Understand though that I run a tranny cooler and I am adding a power steering cooler at the moment.

Heat is a big issue you deal with in the desert. If you can justify the expense of all the product to keep the truck running cool.

WELL, IT'S A BLAST.

Any youtube vids of ur truck??

SPRSNK uses his truck as a somewhat Trophy series runner...its not even street legal at this point.

What he does and 98% of Raptor owners do with theirs are completely different. Supercharge it if you just want to do it for the hell of it and it spends most of its time on the road.

It is in the US getting a full rebuild, similar to what SPRSNK did to his. Mine is supercharged though. I just switched from the procharger to the Roush supercharger.

We will be doing a lot of video around the 2nd week of Sept, when we go out and do all the testing and tuning of the suspension.

Then the truck gets painted to be unveiled at Off-Road Expo with RPG and Magnaflow.

I got an email from John Hennessey about the new Roush. Then I spoke to Roush and it just worked out to be worth the switch. I haven't driven it yet, but I am told it has significantly more instant response.
