HOW TO EASILY BUILD AN 11-SEC (OR FASTER) F-150
Ford’s latest F-150 platform is an incredible foundation for power, torque, and everyday usability thanks to having plenty of room, a usable bed, and in some cases 4wd (which is extra handy with big supercharged HP).
But what surprises most truck owners is just how easy it is to transform a stock 5.0L F-150 into a reliable 11-second truck—or even quicker—using ProCharger’s bolt-on, intercooled F-150 Supercharger System.
No engine teardown. No complicated fabrication. No giving up daily-driver comfort. Just open the box, page through the instructions, and start bolting it on and enjoy massive gains that transform the truck both on the street and at the strip.
STEP 1: START WITH A STOCK F-150 (YES, REALLY)
A stock 2024–2025 F-150 5.0L needs only a few key upgrades to reliably run in the 11s:
- ProCharger High Output “PRO” or Stage II System with P-1X supercharger
- Premium 93 octane fuel
That’s it. No forged engine. No built transmission. No exotic parts list.
Our complete systems include OEM-style fitment, simple calibration upload, and a fully reversible installation.
STEP 2: BOLT ON THE BOOST
A ProCharger is engineered for DIY-friendly installation and typically takes 6–8 hours to complete. Enjoy more performance from your engine – faster ETs, improved towing capability, and fuel mileage friendliness – with no permanent modifications and factory drivability. Prefer to leave it to a professional? We’ve got you covered with a large network of certified ProCharger installers across the country—ready to help bring your build to life.
Once installed, you can expect:
- Huge power increases across the RPM range
- Instant throttle response
- Linear power delivery that makes it easier to drive and tune
- Repeatable passes with minimal cool-down time
Most customers are shocked by how normal the truck feels during daily driving—and how hard it pulls at wide-open throttle.

STEP 3: HIT THE TRACK — AND WATCH THE TIMES DROP
A ProCharged 5.0L F-150 running proper tires and a good tune will typically run:
- Mid-11s with just the High Output system and premium fuel
- Mid-10s with pulley change and fuel additive, like Boostane
- Even Quicker with more boost, fuel injector change, and e85.
All while keeping full interior, daily drivability, and the ability to tow your toys on weekends. This is where ProChargers shine—big power with a whoosh!.
Our ProCharger-owned, real-world track testing results last fall speak for themselves: a blistering 10.8-second quarter-mile at 132 MPH with a stock truck, the High Output PRO system, a smaller pulley, E30 fuel with DA 3362 and ambient temperature at 87-degrees. With just the PRO kit, expect results in the mid to high 11s on bone stock trucks and 93 octane. This rigorous testing showcases why ProCharger systems are the ultimate upgrade for serious performance enthusiasts.
STEP 4: TURN IT UP (IF YOU WANT TO)
If your goal is quicker than 11s, ProCharger offers the largest ecosystem of upgrade options:
- Larger head units (D-1X, P-1R, F-1)
- Smaller drive pulleys (more boost)
- Custom Tuning (via local tuners)
- Fuel system upgrades
With the right combination, the F-150 platform can support four-digit horsepower while maintaining OEM driving behavior.
A RELIABLE, DURABLE, DAILY-DRIVEN ROCKET
One of the biggest advantages of choosing ProCharger is the system’s proven long-term durability. Many customers report:
- 200,000+ miles on ProCharged builds
- Flawless cross-country trips
- Years of track use with minimal maintenance
You get repeatability, rock-solid reliability, and a platform that keeps coming back for more.
