Boosted Trucks for Fun and Work!

Increase Power and Torque with Edelbrock Superchargers for Pickups!

The first Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger System was introduced in 2008 for the 4.6L 3V Ford V8-powered Mustang. This underhood power adder set the industry standard for forced induction systems that offered a huge power gain, easy bolt-on installation with no internal engine modifications required, and rock-solid reliability for daily driving that was supported by a manufacturer’s powertrain warranty.

Edelbrock Superchargers, Chevy Trucks, C-10, Squarebody, — Edelbrock Universal Supercharger Kits for Chevy LS, Chrysler Gen 3 HEMI and Ford Coyote make a late-model engine swap a popular modification for classic truck owners like Dino Battilana of Dino’s Chevy Only Git Down. Dino runs an Edelbrock-supercharged 6.2L LS in his 1973 Chevy C10 and says, “It’s a bullet!”

Edelbrock has since dropped the E-Force designation, but the Edelbrock Supercharger line has expanded tenfold to include nearly all of the most popular American muscle car applications as well as sport compact imports such as the Miata MX-5 and Subaru BRZ platform that includes Scion FR-S and Toyota 86.

While hot rods and late-model muscle cars will no doubt continue to be the bread and butter for the aftermarket performance industry, you may notice large companies like Edelbrock are steadily expanding their product lines into the light truck market. According to a 2019 report by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA), “Pickup truck upgrades are the largest sector of the specialty equipment industry, accounting for 27% of total retail dollars, followed by mid-range cars and SUVs (including the Jeep Wrangler).”

Pickup truck upgrades lead the aftermarket upgrade sector — Edelbrock Superchargers for the Ford F-150 — With the right mods, a late-model pickup can function as a reliable daily-driven truck with the power of a high-performance car. Upgrades on this 2019 Ford F-150 pickup by Evolution Performance include an Edelbrock Stage 1 Supercharger Kit along with long-tube headers (with cat-delete), 3.25-inch pulley and a custom tune by Lund Racing. Output at the crank is 850 horsepower (about 680 to the wheels) running on 93-octane pump gas.

WHY SUPERCHARGE YOUR TRUCK?
The short answer is: More power equals more fun! But for truck owners, better performance has several practical advantages, too. Hauling heavy loads, towing trailers and running accessories like oversized wheels and tires all consume power. While OEMs offer up-spec engines, even the highest factory horsepower and torque options leaves us wanting and needing more in daily driving situations. Anytime we make modifications to improve performance, the goal is to improve airflow. The Edelbrock Supercharger System for trucks improves the operating efficiency of an engine for a substantial increase in both horsepower and torque. With most V8 truck applications you can expect to see about 35% or better increase over stock. An Edelbrock Stage 1 kit for the 2018+ Ford F-150 for example increases rear-wheel horsepower by 65% over stock (600 RWHP) with 35-37% more rear-wheel torque over stock (467 ft-lbs), all while remaining emissions-legal in each of our 50 states.

RELIABILITY — All Edelbrock Supercharger Systems use Eaton Twin Vortices Series (TVS) rotor assemblies for OEM-like reliability. In fact, these systems are so reliable that Edelbrock includes a free 3-year/36,000-mile powertrain warranty with the supplied calibration.
SMOOTH POWER FOR DAILY DRIVABILITY — Edelbrock Superchargers overcome the limitations of a naturally aspirated engine by forcing more air into the engine. The positive-displacement TVS design yields a broad power curve with instant response (no turbo lag!).
SIMPLE INSTALLATION — Whether you choose to install it yourself or have it done by a qualified mechanic, the Edelbrock Supercharger Kit includes all necessary components with a full-color installation manual to simplify the process. No internal engine modifications are required and there is no need to cut or modify the factory hood or body.
