Ok so i have a stock 84 5.0Gt. I want to super charge it but i am not sure how much and how much the stock set up will handle. Anyhelp would be great. Engine has 45,000 miles on it and it is completely stock. Thanks alot!!
we just talked about this 2 days ago... try doing a search for this topic... i dont recommend running a supercharger while stock... your gonna need a few mods..
The s/c kit from vortec is a good kit to start off with on a stock.
The least you should also do is a 255lph fuel pump.
Mass air conversion is not required, but would help out with the drivablity.
I first bought a vortec s/c from Powered By Ford in Florda. Great deal only $1600, plus free shipping.
Warning, you will want more. Look at me I started at with stocker, than stocker with sc, Now the car is in the garage torn all apart for the last year, working on a DIY turbo kit.
I have an old Paxton SN92 on a stock '90 5.0 with 135k miles. The SC has been on about 5k miles. I'm running 5-6 psi, and everything's held together so far.
It is worth mentioning I do not race the car, and very seldom drive it hard. It's my daily driver, and I can't afford to break it right now, cuz I can't afford to fix it.
Like he said, Yes is is carbd thanks for noticing. Any way I am thinkin about tryin it to see, the car has been in my family since it was new and I dont wanna ruin it just make it faster. thanks for the help.
