Can you supercharge your car if it has the explorer pi engine? Does the aluminum block matter? Curious because don't want to buy one if I can't supercharge it. Planning on running 8-10psi intercooled procharger. Thanks

go for it, that block is not the week point...its the pistons/rods. Just get a good tune and you'll be fine with moderate boost.
