I'm thinking about supercharging my 1998 GT stang this summer but don't know if it is safe enough for the engine. I am afraid the stock block won't be able to handle the boost. I currently have have P&P PI heads and cams plus a bunch of other mods. I'm worried that the compression will be too much for the block with the supercharger. I was planning on only running around 6 PSI or so to take me to 400rwhp. Currently I have around 330 rwhp. Think the block will be able to handle the little amount of boost?

Yea, the block is super strong, its the internals that need attention. You throw a rod, it could go through the block though.

It's all in the tune. The compression is a tad high so you'll just have to be that much more conservative with the fuel and spark. I don't know if you'll see 400rwHP at 6psi given that you'll need to be a little fatter and a little more retarded on the spark for safety though.
