Finally, just purchased my first stang. Had compression test run on the engine, all #'s came back good. Everything appears stock. Does anybody know if the stock 5.0 will handle boost and if so how much. The engine has 160,000 miles on it. But according to my mechanic w/25 years exp.(dad) it runs like a top. Any information would be great or personal experience. Also any other advice on suspension or drivetrain. I have no idea about anything on the car as I am still curently in Iraq, but will be home in Dec. Need to start building a parts pile.

use the search button. most the people that are supercharged on this forum run stock bottom ends with no problem. as far as parts, check out what other people have. set a goal and find stuff to get you there.
