Default I want some boost

I'm wondering if there is any other way to cram air down the intake without a supercharger? How much hp do you get for each 1lb. of boost? Anyone made/rigged something that pushes air into the intake? Any ideas. My 99 cam sucks, can't tear into motor until I'm out of college !

What about that system that will give the new Lightnings 50hp at the push of a button (its not nitrous though). I believe it runs off of the air conditioner. Can you fab that thing on our trucks. What does it consist of?

I think that system is just an intercooler set up for the supercharger on the lightning!

The ford setup is just freon (a/c stuff) pumped through the intercooler to cool it off.... I'm guessing the charge will come from the compressor then to the intercooler then to the rest of the system. Its only able to do this every 5 minutes or so.. and I haven't even heard a definate as if it will be offered.

Its a good idea, to do on a s/c with intercooler setup.

I agree, Ford has some very innovative ideas!
