I live in Dallas Texas and the summers get quite hot.
I want to add a supercharger or turbo.
It just for fun. 99% street. Maybe a few fun runs.
Needs to be extreemly streetable. Something that will run like its from the factory.

Ive thought about a ATI ProCharger intercooled P1SC - because of the intercooler.

Suggestions?

I think a supercharger will run more like stock, and with an intersooler you should be okay.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Nitrous!!!! Nitrous doesn't care what the temperature is outside. On FI, anything with an intercooler will be good.

I would add this info since I'm local to you in the DFW area

More power means more heat produced
therefore
You wanna beef up the OEM cooling system

For as long as I can remember

Ford has given cars with SBF motors
Cooling systems that are barely adequate for the stocker power plant

I did three things that made all the difference

1) Used Tweecer to lower fan turn on temp
This helped with a mild E7 self ported h/c/i combo

When I went to my current sig combo
the OEM system was just overpowered
even with the lower fan settings

2) & 3) I then went with a Fluidyne rad and Stewart high vloume wp

I'd say no matter what method you choose to make more power ....
You will most likely have to do something similar

Yes ... It does get a bit hot in our part of the world :Word:
