Default SuperCharger

I have a 95' 5.0 with very little done to it. I was looking to SuperCharge it and would like some guidance. Is it wise to do the suspension work first and if so about how much would this cost? Do I need any modifications done to the engine before doing so?

Thanks for the help.

I have an intake, chip, new clutch, ignition system, flow master x pipe

if you are going with one of these centi blowers, you probably won't need suspension for the track.

Then again, I forget how much different my car handles from hardtop cars. You may want to invest in some traction bars and see how it does.

If I had it to do all over again, I would have put my money in a top end kit first.

I just learned from my friend, He start doing the top end first with supercharge and a 13 Lbs of boost pulley and He has 520 H.P and now he wants some more horses but He did not do the bottom end, so it depends what you want, I think planning first what you want to do and then hoping you will not change your mind and go from there. but if I would do mine I will start from the bottom end first.

I had a bone stock 91 5.0 with a kenne bell supercharger on it and it was a blast. I ran 6lbs of boost and the motor held together good. As long as your stock suspension is in good shape its not a necessity to upgrade. If you want to run a higher boost then think about building the motor otherwise 6-8lbs of boost was fun.

A Supercharger was by far the Best Mod I ever done when my car was pretty close to Stock!Next best things were Gears and Maximum Motorsports Frame Connectors!
