In the most basic of terms, an internal combustion engine is nothing more than a large air pump. To make horsepower, an engine draws air into its combustion chambers, mixes the air with fuel, and, with the aid of a spark from the ignition system, creates an explosion that drives the reciprocating assembly. What's left over is pushed out of the exhaust system of your truck once the work has been done. There are several ways to give the naturally aspirated engine in your truck a power boost, but none will come close to giving you as much bang for your buck as adding nitrous oxide or some type of forced induction. In this article, we are going to focus on the installation of a Powerdyne supercharger system. We'll retain the factory ignition system because it's up to the task of burning our newly compressed mixture of air and fuel, but we are going to alter the factory computer programming with a new chip from Superchips.

The new chip will adjust the fuel map and ignition timing to account for the increased power generated by the supercharger. The end result of our hard work shows in the charts taken from the chassis dynometer at Powerdyne.

This Ford F-250's Triton V-10 engine had its power output boosted by 105 hp at the rear wheels. That's a pretty good number considering we didn't tear into the bottom end of the motor. As with most engine modifications of this type, premium 91-octane or greater fuel will be a necessity to keep detonation at bay and to protect the bottom end of the motor from damage. Everyday driving with our blown V-10 has been fun; the addition of 40 percent more rear-wheel torque make on- or off-road trips an entertaining experience. Here's the Powerdyne install.
