I wouldn't have the Intake done yet, for those who are going with the Super
Charger. I have a Automotive Engineer explained about air fluid dynamics
and that the stock version may not work with a higher HP output. I have to
agree, seeing the Ford version of the 5.4 with modification made with the
injectors weight, throttle bodies, air sensors and so forth.
Borla are being sold inclusively with TruckPerformance.Com right now and
they work with 4.7L. The warranty package is excellent with the east coast
folks. Price is 418.49 dollars and they have them. It comes with the cross
over pipes. The material is T304 steel. The shorty version not long tube.
I would not go with any other PCM chip except Mopar. The brains or computer
chip is the most important part of the truck but I would trust in Mopar and
pay the 300.00 for it and it when available. According to Jet has a PC
version to reprogram the chip but I really don't think this EEPROM version
will like it.
The latest AirRaid 4.7L version is not the same as the 5.2 or 5.9. The
difference lies in the box design and filter used. This would pass any
California CARB test. They have the numbers on the Dyno results (some lucky
Dakota got a free Air Kit) of 11HP gain.
When I talked to Golden West the kits should be available by late summer
time.

some clarifications
Mopar Computer is only a P/N. No parts are available yet.
Borla headers ?? I called Borla and they gave me a part number and an MSRP
(599), but couldn't answer questions on ship date, tube diameter, dyno
graphs. So do they have them?
Who knows. i pawned that question off unto KRC performance. Maybe he can
arrange a deal for 4.7'ers
Jet computer-- They have one , but it only does certain functions.
Specifically, it will NOT remove factory speed limit. They quoted me mid
July before they'll be able to do that.
Supercharger-(not plural) Golden West is developing a kit, but right now
only Kenne-Bell has one available (but I could be wrong on this).
Airraid is not smog legal, from what i've seen posted recently.
Quick-D starting to ship his intake kit. ( but we've been over-workin' him
with requests)
I'm hoping that we will start seeing a lot of stuff soon, but for now I
still envy the parts availability the 5.9 guys have. (Didn't say I'd trade
off my 4.7, just that I'm impatient)
