302 forced induction
For my F150.
There are many turbo kits designed for the mustang, and based on the amount of extra room in my engine compartment, pretty much any should fit.
BUT im not a fan of turbos on gas engines, ive always been more fond of the smoother torque curve provided by superchargers (throwback to musclecars ive worked on) and i cant stand driving a car with turbolag...its not bad on diesels because of all the low end torque by the time the power starts to flatline the turbo is spooled up.
So that being said, i havnt researched 302 superchargers in depth yet (what im doing after i post this) so i thought id ask what there is out there and any opinions yall have on different kits/manufacturers/etc.
Links are helpful.
Or discuss turbo vs. super
This is just a learning excursion, depending on what i learn i may go further into the details of forced induction on an engine with 131xxx miles (...its not gunna be pretty lol, i dont even want to think of what the blowby rate would be w/out a rebuild) Id still rather build a 393 stroker from a 351W but i figured id research all the options first.
