Great video.Lovely sound.Way back in 2003,I thought twice before getting the 3.0 Diesel!My other option was the 4.6is because of the wheels,bodykit,suspension,
brakes,cluster ++++ other things.The only thing I was sure of was that I wanted the DIESEL engine.So,I got the Diesel and spent all that money in mods that already were standard on the 4.6is!But now listening to that supercharged(music to the ears) 4.6 engine,I am having regrets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Maybe I should have got the 4.6 and spent money only on the supercharger!Diesel doesnt compensate for me since I dont use the car on a regular basis as I have other cars.
Anybody want to swap????

I believe you.......................
Do you have any issues with overheating?Does your s/c kit have an intercooler?What boost pressure is it doing?

no issues w/ overheating...
no intercooler but i believe there's an aftercooler, or so someone told me...info to be verified...
and its boosting only 5.5psi...i'd like to see it boost about 8/9 psi but from what i hear 5.5 is about as safely done as possible, so i won't toy with the greater boost idea...yet....

An aftercooler can be either an intercooler,which is basically a air radiator that cools the air that goes thru it or a charge-cooler,where the air pushed out from the S/C is cooled with water via a secondary water radiator.
Conversions with intercooler or charge cooler will allow you to run bigger boost as these will cool the air inside your cylinder chambers.
