Default Tech Help Needed

The guy i bought my mustang from said it has a 308 in it. is there such thing as a 308? Also, I just recently purchased a Vortech T-Trim supercharger for a 302 HO mustang and was wondering if this would fit my application because i'm unsure if it has new pistons, rods, etc. And last but not least, the guy i bought the blower from ran it at 17psi with a 331 stroker. could i do the same with my mustang without getting an intercooler?

Thanks for the replies,
Matt

The guy you buy it from tells you it has a 308. You have enough doubt about it to ask us if it even exists. Yet you still buy it?

Whether you can use the blower is dependent on the application. What years was it designed to fit, and what year is your car? Stock comp. was 9.25:1, I wouldn't boost anything higher than that without some o-ringed heads or cometic gaskets.
