not true. the 4.0 is a pushrod like the essex family. the 4.0 is in the ford cologne family of motors

You're right that it's not part of the current "modular" family and that's it's a "Cologne" engine, but the current 4.0 is not a pushrod engine... it's SOHC. However, the Cologne family of engines have generally been pushrods.

Buy your description of 'instant power people' you must be referring to positive displacement superchargers. You're forgetting about the centrifugals.

+1, I think what he meant by instant power is that the s/c is run off of a pulley....rather than the exhaust....so even tho centrifugal s/c boost isnt as instant as a roots/screw type....its still more instant than a turbo for the most part.

Depends on your description of instant.

Don't you mean if its setup inefficiently?

A properly sized turbo, or correctly setup turbo [however you wanna say it] is going to build boost before a centrifugal and eat it all day. Even a positive displacement s/c will fall soon after the launch.

I'm sorry, come again?

Lets look at my car and chrisstories8 car.

My car (centrifugal s/c) builds boost, at 3k you can really "feel" it. His car sc44 turbo builds boost, at 2.5-2.7k you can really "feel it".

Only way to beat the "feeling" is with a positive displacment s/c.

Umm... no... while significant boost comes on early in Roots and Twin-Screw superchargers, you can DEFINITLEY spec a turbo to make full boost LONG before a typical centrifugal supercharger.

It's not as "cut and dried" as you'd make it seem.

Edit: Darn, you beat me by a few seconds SSS

... err... millow seconds

turbos are usually more efficient then superchargers... though they are a tiny bit harder to work with/tune... either way your going to notice a nice gain when shoving 8-11 psi through that engine
