Vortech Supercharger? Good deal for a 302?

Blower Pressure (psi): 6-8 psi (Is this enough, and can it go higher if necessary?)

It's a project stang that's going to be dropped into a '67 MK3 Racer from Factory Five Racing in about 2 years. Right it now it hasn't even come into my driverway. I'm thinkin about items to purchase and what's going to get me that amount of horsepower. Most certainly I will make these upgrades:
-- Performance spark plugs (brand?? model??)
-- BBK 75mm Power-plus Throttle Body
-- Performance Fuel Injectors (how many lbs per hour?? Accel or Ford performance?)
-- Compatible Fuel Pump (included in powerdyne kit: 190lph should I go for more? ~24lb per injector)
-- Cold Air Intake (Larger than life air filter with short distance to engine)
-- Free-flow Exhaust Kit (brand?)
-- Compatible Free-flow headers (brand? short of long?)
-- Supercharger kit (brand? psi?)
-- ECU Chip Upgrade (Superchips or another brand??)
-- Sidemounted Intercooler (so the radiator is exposed to cool air as well.)
But for now, its bone stock and will have an engine rebuild when I get it.

I think you getting ahead of yourself..but the 8-10 psi kit will get you 350 with the right engine setup..injector I would go with 30 # and a 190-255 pump with a 75inline just incase the intank takes a dump to save the engine....

are you going to keep it a 302? bore it out or stroke it? this is important in choosing parts. id say bore it 30 over, make it a 306, put a good set of forged pistons in there, some good rings, replace all the bearings, get some good heads (gt40) would be a good head to run, or just port the stock heads. get ahold of a gt40 intake (the came on ford explorers also) get some 30+# injectors, a high flow pump, 75mm throttle body, 75mm mass air, and exhuast and youll have a fun little car
