Which Supercharger?

[RiseAgainst]

I have done some searching on the site for superchargers but all I pull up is people saying to supercharge. I know there is the EE supercharger and the Ford Racing Supercharger, but I was wondering if there is a higher gain supercharger available for a 2001 5.0L? Possibly cheaper than the EE?

I think the Powerdyne has more upgrade potential, and it's a lot less $. I know of only CobraXP who runs the EE kit. Might want to check his threads.

There are other better superchargers out there, but I reccomend that before you even look to push past the 9 lbs boost limit for most those "normal" chargers that you build the bottom end of your engine. Then you can get serious with either a modified Vortech S trim kit for a mustang or a KB 1.5L for a mustang, or a Powerdyne w/ the upgraded XB-1A racing head unit. Do a search and I am sure you could pull up alot of interesting writeups and threads from guys like Troll, Pur Pony, X-Box, myself, Lowdpypes and so on. I know all of us guys have put a wealth of knowledge into some of those old threads we posted a few years back. Just check all that out and you should find all the info you would ever need regarding building an explorer for power.

Is the supercharger that Ford sells for the explorer a BD powerdyne?

Yes. IF you wanted a better head unit than the BD-11 then at the time of puchase you would have to ask for the XB-1A head unit upgrade. I know when I bought mine it was a $585 or so upgrade. I bought mine through www.superchargersonline.com . I called them up to place my order to I could tell them exactly what I wanted.
