Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on something I've found. I found a M112 blower with the throttle body, SVT manifold with built in intercooler, SVT tensioner bridge, green top SVT injectors, heat exchanger with fluid reservoir, upgraded crank pulley, heat exchanger pump, engine drive and accessory drive belts and it's for $2,500.00
My question is, can I install all this on my 5.4L Expedition, get a tune, and be good to go? Because in my opinion that seems like a good price when a Procharger is over $5K. My issue is, I don't know if there's more that I need, and also when doing a search I've come up with conflicting reports on the viability of doing this.
This thread from 2005, says go aftermarket.

This one, from 2008, says it shouldn't be hard and has been done already.

I know the simplest way is to just buy a Lightning, but this was my grandpa's ride and he passed away years ago, so it has significance to me. But, on the other hand, I would like it to be a little more peppy to drive. Not insane..I don't want to make it some monster, just comparable in power to what is coming from the factory today, and, you know, that beautiful whine. It's not a daily driver either, I have a 4Runner for that. I use it primarily to tow my boat so this will probably be a fall/winter project.
I guess the summary of my question is: Is this moderately easy(ish), is that a good price for a kit considering what is in it, is it missing anything, am I going to blow anything up even though I don't want crazy horsepower, what am I getting myself into?
Thank you everyone in advance for your advice.
