Sorry guys, this may seem repetitive from my last question about the intake and headers. I have the 95 5.0 w/ 90,000 that i bought from the original owner who is an elderly fellow that babied the car. I was thinking about buying a head/intake kit from ford racing or trickflow. Would it be worth putting new aluminum heads and intake on the stock shortblock? In other words, would it last or would I be wasting my money? OR Should I just put a 6-8psi vortech supercharger on the car for the same price as heads/ intake/ headers?---------You guys have been so much help-( sorry for the constant questions)

your stock shortblock will be fine after adding all that stuff on to it, as long as it is installed correctly

If the engine is running fine now then you should not have a problem. A quick test would be a compression check, that'll give you an idea what shape the engine might be in. Alot of people like FI and there is nothing wrong with that. Personally i like the high compression built n/a engines. It's really up to you. Just remember if you decide to build engine and later go with boost to keep your compression down. I'm not familiar with FI but from what i have heard you want to keep compression somewhere in the range of 8.5-9.5.
