7.3 twin turbo Godzilla

Not so much an opinion but an explanation why you are unlikely to ever see supercharger come with a new truck.

Unlikely? LOL. It's been done.

I've owned them and raced them. Road racing and open road racing (F150 Lightning). FWIW, fastest street legal Lightning is owned by a buddy and has been raced often. Been in it myself at several road courses : Laguna Seca, Thunderhill, Buttonwillow, Las Vegas Motor Speedway (oval track and the road course), etc. It's a street legal, 182 mph lightning (confirmed) with 142 ft of roll cage. The only problem at 179+ mph on the open road is that the rear lifts off the ground so 182 mph was the limit due to lack of rear tire traction. Getting in and out is not exactly easy. I also tracked mine often when testing suspensions for one of the manufactures.
I've also known many in the racing world that have put superchargers on race cars. And, I've know others who put them on their street trucks and SUV's, although they raced off road with their purpose built race trucks.

Like I said, it's been done. And, if I bought a gas truck and want to boost it, I'll say it again: I'd put on a supercharger instead of a turbo. They work fine.

BTW, I still have a spare stock Ford Gen2 Lightning suspension (complete without shocks), along with other parts. If anyone wants to buy it, make an offer. I haven't thrown the stuff away only because I suspect that someday, someone will want it.
