[QUOTE="Evil Peaches, post: 1800552, member: 51657"] I had a thread a few months ago you might want to check out. I’m on mobile now and don’t know how to link it. Bought a procharger tuner kit and reached out to Livernois to quote the install. They quoted me $10,000 for the install, on top of the $6,500 for the kit. The thread includes what preventative steps they suggested to ensure the engine didn’t explode. Most agreed those steps were reasonable. At the end of the day, I had no intention of dropping around $20,000 to supercharge when I could just buy a used Gen II. I elected to return the procharger and roll that money into a tune and stainless works exhaust/header combo. I also just crossed 100,000 miles and paid around $1,600 for coils, plugs, wires, and trans filter+fluid at the ford dealer…aaaaand I’m due for more tires. I’m not crying, I love my truck. But if you buy a used Gen I be aware that these costs are imminent. If I was in your position and wanted a Gen I with a blower I would find a low mileage Roush or Whipple build from somewhere down south. I bought my truck in Arkansa and it was rust free, which is unheard of where I’m from. [/QUOTE]
