Supercharge my motor
I was wondering if it is possible to supercharge my V10 Ford engine? I want more power when towing up hills.

There are two inherent problems when it comes to adding go goodies to a motor.
First, adding things like superchargers are generally only good at high RPM. For a MH you want the power at low RPM. Just the opposite.
Second, the weakest link in the power train then becomes overloaded. So if you were to add something like a supercharger, or a turbo charger, then be prepared to rebuild your transmission and possibly universal joints. Remember, your lugging around a lot of weight in your MH and trying to move it faster something is going to break sooner or later.
Just not a practical solution. You would be far better off lightening the load first.
