only thing I dont like is that manifold. doesnt look like the fuel rails are on it, which makes me believe that you need to swap your stock fuel rails over to make it work.

I dont know man, something just doesn't seem right. It makes no sense to sell them that cheap. Since you're pretty close to them why not just take a drive there and go see it in person?

if legitimacy is a concern, I can assure you the probability of this being legit is high. I spoke with Damien earlier today (the contact guy there) and its a Ford Dealership. They even told me I can come into the dealership and pick it up in person. I have no problem with doing that, but I can't find the time to spare to drive 2-3hrs north for a sense of security.

Just debating wether I want to get into one of these again or not. For this price, I think selling my truck supercharged again would be an added bonus for the new buyer.

I spoke with Julio today as well, the OP, and we discussed the differences seen with this blower and my TVS. The only reason I can see as to why they marketed this as an 07-09 5.3 application is due to the throttle body connection. It is a 4 bolt which is standard on the 07+, whereas the 04-06 have the 78mm 3 bolt. Well, with the TVS comes a billet adapter plate that makes this work for the 07+ or the 04+. It just makes that 4 bolt opening into a 3 bolt opening. No biggie? Plus I think the intercooler tank is designed to work in an 07+ application whereas it might need to be retrofitted into an 04-06 application.

I felt the same way about the New 4" Edelbrock Duramax cat back with muffler for $99 shipped a week or so ago, but guess what? There is one sitting in my garage right now... I just wish I'd bough more of them,

What would it take to retrofit this onto a 2000?

i spoke to guy at Roush, he said they engineered, but it was not to be marketed as a Rousch product, since they aren't providing warranty work on it.

I'm very temtped to buy this.

As far as i know, you just need the proper fuel rail, or just the little block that attaches to the rail. And of course the throttle body.
