here are some of the highlights (or low-lights as the case may be)for you lazy bastages.....

Ford started building supercharged ’07 Harley-Davidson editions in early May and has started shipping the pickups for sale this summer. The automaker will only make 1500-2000 as ’07s. The ’08s will go into production in August and land at dealerships in September. Massara estimates sales for a full model year could be in the 3000-5000 range.

For the performance boost from 300 horsepower to 450, the truck, complete with a 5.4-liter, three-valve Triton V-8 from the Romeo, Michigan, engine plant, is shipped from the Dearborn Truck Plant to Saleen for the upfit of the mill. Horsepower is formally listed as 450, but Ford says it repeatedly pumps out numbers in the low 470s on the dyno.
We expected some serious stampede-ability from those huffed horses, but we were a little let down. Ford’s engineers claim the supercharger is tuned for more subtle engagement, but we’d say it’s too subtle. In the lower part of second gear, the difference between half-throttle and full-throttle is indistinguishable. The Fordley felt only marginally quicker than the Toyota Tundra we drove in our April pickup comparo. With an extra 50 horsepower, we’d expect better, although that’s in line with the 5.7-second 0-to-60-mph sprint we recorded for the SEMA FX2 when we tested it in April.
