Okay I really want a make a good solid thread about building up an engine to handle a supercharger kit for a 5.0. What I am looking for is oppinions on brands of supercharger kits, what needs to be done to a factory engine in order to hold the PSI (piston rings, head gaskets, etc...), Upgrading the fuel system, Pulley sets, MAF upgrade, and ANYTHING ELSE in order to do a complete supercharger kit install on a completely bone stock 5.0. Lets try to focus on the fuel injected 5.0s from 87 and up.

So if you have links to any pages with info on stuff that is bolded above. POST IT. If you have installed your own supercharger post pics and give any tips or tricks that you found out while doing the install. Lets try to make this a thread that could get stickied if it ends up being good.

Lets start with some basics:

1.) Chosing the right supercharger

2.) Upgrading engine components to handle pressure

3.) Upgrading fuel delivery (Fuel pump, injectors, etc...)




Thanks to anyone that helps with this.

Not to shoot down your post, but for the most part, supercharger kits come with everything you need. They are designed to be fairly easy t install and are bolt-ons. The kits are made so that they come with everything you need to bolt it onto a bone stock engine.

Of course, there are things you can boost such as the fuel pump, injectors, etc. But it's really not needed.
