You could run it on your car how it is, but I would recommend upgrading your intake manifolds, injectors, throttle body, and MAF. It is all up to you, with 6 psi it would be fine with stock parts, it would just make more power with those upgrades.

I say go for the suspension first.
#1. It's something that needs to be done on a stock fox-body anyway.
#2.Then when you do get a supercharger, you will be able to put the power down more easily.

ok? that was a random statement with tons of variables.. anyway

the stock 5.0 is infamously known for not being able to handle the stock horsepower

I would say that your not gunna need to drop all $1000 on suspension just yet. Unless you want a tubular front suspension. Get upper/lower rear control arms and springs. Thats about $400 right there, so then spend the other $600 on things like Intake, Throttle body, MAF.
