No, you can't easily bolt on a Grand Prix supercharger. If you want to supercharge it, find a used kit, or you can buy a head unit and custom fab the piping and mounting brackets. _____________________________ 1999 Mountaineer AWD 5.0 - 4300K HID, MAC CAI, Sniper Tuning, PMAS 75mm MAF 1997 RS - 4300K HID lows and 3000K fogs, HPTuner, Bolt-ons...

I'm not sure whether they do that kind of stuff or not. I forgot to mention, if do put a supercharger on there, you're going to want to get it tuned to run good/healthy. _____________________________ 1999 Mountaineer AWD 5.0 - 4300K HID, MAC CAI, Sniper Tuning, PMAS 75mm MAF 1997 RS - 4300K HID lows and 3000K fogs, HPTuner, Bolt-ons...

I've heard it'll run at least a few grand to get it done right, and at that point you have just gotta wonder whether it's worth it. Personally I'd just save the money and swap in a v8 once this engine goes. _____________________________ [IMG]http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o129/michaelnmhs/feb045.jpg[/IMG] (in reply to keith_AE2010) Post #: 8
