    School me on supercharging my 5.0

    I picked up a extremely low mileage flowzilla with the blowzilla inlet and gt40 intake setup. The plan is to do a cam and head swap, new water pump and aluminum rad while installing the supercharger. Now I am trying to figure out what injectors and MAF I will need as well as other miscellaneous things that I may overlooking.

    Please, any and all advise is welcome.

    Have any pics of the air to air inter cooler setup? I am hoping to make my own

    95 will have hyper pistons, so stay under 8psi and a good tune is key.

    Very good information. Keep it coming I may do a full rebuild while the engine is out. Should I go with forged pistons? If so did any 5.0 come stock with forged pistons?

    85-92 have forged pistons , forged are better but a lot of people have made good power with stock hyper pistons , like said above tune is key

    I believe the 1987 to 1992 mustang 5.0 engines had forged pistons.

    ...treed, lol.

    Yes older engines use forged pistons, but if it was me I’d go 10 psi max even with those. As far as injectors you’d need to know what psi you’ll be running and what power level you’re expecting to be at, 36-42 lb/hr is probably what you’ll end up with, and you’ll also need to upgrade your fuel pump.
    Stock 302s with forged pistons can be had cheap ($200?) may be best off to buy a used engine and build it on a stand then swap it in.

    Likely what I will do I will have to sweet talk my wife into believing it was her idea though
