95 302 EFI supercharger kit? cam? making my build plans, need advice
ISome of you may remember my 85 F250...long story short I lost my job and had to sell her. Good thing is, I found a good buyer who has since continued the restoration process I started.
I have been back to work since January (im a OTR truck driver) and I've picked up my next toy, a 95 F150 with a 302 EFI. Only has 160k on the clock :-) I wont be in town again until the last weekend of the month and I'll throw up some pics then. I bought her from the original owner. She's very clean, a little rust in the typical places but it will be easy to fix.
I had my friend who is a Ford certified tech rebuild the transmission (2nd gear was slipping a little), I've only put like 50 miles on it since. The engine is healthy, compression is perfect.
I'm making my plans for her. I've got a set of headers on the way to my house, and when I'm home next if I have time I will be having a true dual exhaust setup installed. I'm looking for other bolt-ons I can install and I really want to supercharge it. Can anyone point me to a supercharger kit for it? I searched Summit but the only kits I could find were for carbureted engines, not EFI. Im also looking for advice on fuel management as far as what size injectors I should run and the best method for tuning it...are this engines injectors low or high impedance? Im used to building imports so I dont know what the best direction to take with this is. Also looking for advice on the best cam to run that will add a decent amount of power while maintaining streetability. I dont plan on running a ton of boost being that it'll be on factory internals at least for now, probably 10#s or less.
Edit: Ive been searching all over Summit, I cant find any aftermarket cams or higher ratio rocker arms, do they not exist? I would have thought the aftermarket for this engine would be virtually limitless since its the basically the same as the Mustang 5.0 right? I'm rather disappointed with the limited selection of available upgrades. In lieu of an aftermarket cam, what other OE Ford cam would drop in that would gain me power? One from a GT Mustang maybe?
Overall, looking for links and advice for bolt ons and a supercharger kit. Thanks in advance!

GEE, I'm surprised that you couldn't find anything for the 5.0 SBF AT Summit. They have whole sections of stuff for that engine. Here is an example supercharger kit:

There are also heads and cams; you just have to search for them.

What cam would you guys recommend that would maintain streetability but still gain me good power? I read the speed density engine's computer likes cams with lobe seperation of 115-117...also does my engine have a roller or flat tappet cam? My understanding is that 351 cams are also compatible with the 302, is that correct?

You're going to want to tune this on a MASS Air system so make are you have that. As for hardware, the tweecer is just decent and don't use the software that comes with it. My suggestion would be a Quarterhorse RT, you can then use some free software or buy some.
