S/c charge Mach 1?

[Mach428]

I was wondering if anyone here has s/c their 03-04 Mach 1's. If so how much PSI have you run through the the 03-04 Mach engin safely. Would it be a good idea to buy forged internals for a 6-12PSI setup or would if be safe without it, thanks for any help.

There are several putting 6-8psi in their machs and haven't had any problems. Vortec has a mach running 10psi but I don't think I would chance that...

No personal experience here.

I'd say 8 psi would be safe with stock internals. You'd have to use a centrifugal type though, I dont think a roots system would allow for use of the shaker hood. Maybe a turbo setup?

6-8 lbs is all I would run on that engine

higher compression and ford's amazing pistons, I'd keep it to 6psi for reliabilities sake.

Yea, i was thinkin no more then 8PSI to be safe, wish the Mach came with forged pistons
