can anyone give me the scoop on Allen Superchargers? I know a guy whose friend is selling an Allen sc that he had on his Ford Explorer for about 6 months. He says it will fit my 99 4.6 2v. The website says they use the Eaton M90 in their sc's and they run about $4500 and produce up to 108 hp i think. He wants $2000 for all of it. Is this a good sc, will it fit my car, and is that a good price? john

I've seen 1 GT with an Allen S/C. It made alright power. The M90 isn't necessarily the best Supercharger for the 4.6 (the Cobra uses the more efficient M112). It's really up to you, does the 2k include fuel upgrades (injectors, pump?). Remember you'll also need a tune.

The Allen is a good quality kit if it is complete. What it will not do is the most power compared to other kits, but enough to break the stock internals. $2000.00 is a good price for a used complete allen kit. It should fit your car. It should include 30lb/hr injectors and a 80mm LMAF and a 190lph fuel pump. You should get a tune if you buy this kit.

What is a LMAF? Well he said it comes with "everything", i will have to get more details than that when i go see it though. the kit on http://www.allen-superchargers.com/explorer.html doesnt say anything about including a fuel pump or 80mm lmaf i don't think. I can't tell where in the picture the sc is mounted. isnt it usually right on top? all i saw was the amuminum intake.

The SC is under that ALLEN aluminum top. LMAF = Lightning MAF.

wait a minute...if the sc is underneath the intake and is behind the alternator, how would the belt get to it? doesnt that sc have a pulley on it? how does it work? i know on the cobras the alt is down on the side. do u know if i will have to relocate anything?

You are going to have to re-locate the alternator, which the parts required to do so should be included. I would go to Allen's website and download the install instructions for a 99+ Mustang.

ok, i will make sure to make sure my friend includes all that with the kit. i also need to find out if its 6psi or 9psi. it came off an Explorer so i would assume it was 6psi.

You might also email Allen to make sure everything will transfer over. You might have to pick up a few parts rom them in order for it to work. (I know it's the same engine, but it never hurts to ask and may save time down the road).

not more efficient, just bigger


the bigger blower is good for more power but the smaller one (M90) is good for low rpm and midrange grunt
