This is cool, but the supercharger only brings the power of the 3.0l to around 238 HP at the flywheel. That's basically a 4.0l. I would love the extra power, however I think I will probably just buy a new truck (with 4.0l) before installing a s/c. That is just more cost effective.

but why do that when you can have somthin custom that sounds like a 3.0 but races like a 4.0 by the way what do you think my hp is in an 00 3.0 with 40 series flows on it i was thinkin tha it was around 200hp to 175 i dont know though

Try more like 5700. At least that's about the rev limit on my 2003 3.0l.


Edge ninja is right, 154 hp (at the flywheel) stock. If the whipple gives 55% increase to PEAK hp, that'll be around 238 HP at the flywheel.

That is also peak horsepower, not the average output.

The 4.0l has 207 hp per edmunds.com. But it does have 238 lbs of torque. The 3.0l has more horsepower when S/C, but obviously won't have as much low end grunt. Now, with the s/c costing at least 3000 bucks, it just doesn't make financial sense. Maybe if you have a paid off truck, and can only afford 3-4 grand in the next few years.

I am not trying to squash the topic on the 3.0l S/C, but I know for me just buying a 4.0l makes more sense. If you're still determined to supercharge, then why not get a 4.0l and supercharge that motor?

Also, a 2000 3.0l with flowmasters on it will probably make about 160 HP at the flywheel. The 2000 3.0l made an advertised 150 hp, and a 10 HP gain is being generous for just flowmaster exhaust. Plus you probably have added enough audio & video equipment to negate any horsepower gain, due to added weight.

That would be cool as hell just to have that nice whine of a s/c granted probably not as cost effective as buying a crate 4.0 but it's the fact of it's so rare...like for show purposes.

All this talk of s/c is making me cry.
I'd be happy with a turbo for my 2.5L.

This s/c talk brings up a couple questions for me...When I graduate I'm gettin a 4.0l. With it being 207hp, how much hp would probably have with a s/c? Also, how much hp would it have with a turbo? I like s/c for the whine and the constant hp at the wheels, but i like turbos for the cheaper price and the blow-off sound. I do realize turbos have more maintaince and junk though which kinda sucks. Anyway, just hit with the hp for the turbo and s/c for the 4.0l, and also an average price for each

BTW, how much for the 207hp 4.0l?

do your guys ranger 3.0 get crappy gas milage i have a 2000 ranger tremer xlt it is pulling 3500 rpms at 70 i also have a 05 dodge 3500 cummimgs crew cab and it gets better gas milage than my ranger
