Welcome to the site! I plan on going forced induction, as well. So far, I am leaning towards the Explorer Express Roots (Eaton M-90) type blower, as I like the sound, and "right now" response of a positive displacement supercharger. I am also tempted by Powerhouse Automotive's single intercooled turbo system. There are a surprising number of options for the 4.0 V6. Vortech/paxton, Procharger, and STS all have kits for the V6.

Oh, man that sucks! I hope it works out in your favour. As for pics, I'm not likely to be posting too many...My lousy 28.8 (at best) dial-up makes posting pics an exercise in futility.

2006 Black Coupe (Originally Pony Package).
Magnaflow dual exhaust, exterior/interior cosmetics, and I lined the entire car with Dynamat sound-proofing. Now the only thing i can hear inside is my own exhaust sound.

Turbo, hmmmm, haven't really checked into that as yet. We just bought a house in Kelowna so may have too hold off on the toys for a bit to let the bank account recover. Has anyone done any cost comps. super charger vs turbo?? May have to chip it for the summer, and hope for the blower in the winter.
Can anyone give me tips on how to post pictures on this??

oldyeller...I've looked into this a bit, and most superchargers for the 4.0 seem to be in the $3500 to $4500US range, and the GOOD turbo kits seem to be around $4500 and up. One example of a supercharger can be found at explorerexpress.com, and an example of one of the intercooled turbo kits is at powerhouse411.com. There are lots of others out there but these are 2 of the best. As for pics. with my 28.8 dial up, I don't even bother. Sorry I can't help.
