Do you often wonder why putting your foot down while driving your Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator doesn’t deliver the response for which you’d hoped? Well, that could be considering you’re driving an immense beast of a vehicle saddled with an overburdened 5.4L V8 producing 300 horsepower. Well, Saleen now has the solution for more potential that Ford has not been willing to offer.

The SpeeLab division of the American tuning house has announced the availability of its Series VI twin-screw supercharger for the current-model Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator. The forced inductor, already on duty

in the Saleen S331 Sport Truck, provides an additional 100 horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque in the SUV. The aftereffect? Substantial additional pulling ability, for one, while acceleration is said to be vastly improved, dropping the 0-60 run into the sixes while improving 35 - 65 mph passing times by 30 percent, all the while making a negligible affect on fuel consumption.
