I have a completely stock unmodified 302 motor in my 95 gt and its not near the amount of power I want it to produce. I have been planning on going to a small supercharger one that can crank out 300-350 hp to the wheels even if its minimal boost. What would be the best one to buy and make that power? Also this is a 135k motor and 135k t-5 do you think both of them can hold up with a s/c? If I buy a supercharger I know I need fuel injectors (not sure the size),TB (also not sure on which one). Would I need an intake manifold and what else would I need/have to replace? I would like to get this in around april or early may latest so Im just weighing everything out first.

Thanks.

135K is fine as long as it is making good compression and not burning oil.

I would just get a Vortech S-trim, slap that shit on and go to town. If your just looking to make sub 400 HP. I would just use the FMU they supply you with and keep your 19lb injectors.

Is it a D/D ? If it is you might want to go cam, upper/lower and heads.

i'm with Lafenatu here. do the homework on your engine before you go buying the blower. the vortech is the most common and can be had for cheap.

a mass air meter is needed before a TB. if your not planning on doing H/C/I later, i'd stick with 24# injectors and an FMU. This will be a basic combo that will give you a good 300 and the ability to grow. I was running edelbrock performer rpm intake, performer heads, and a F-cam with 24s and FMU fine and laid down 390/360rwhp/tq.

Dont use an FMU they are a band aid for a lack of fuel issue. Get the proper size injectors that will be needed for the power you make.


I supercharged my 95 GT it had 120,000 on it.

Cobra intake

Pro M 85MM meter

Full exhuast

#42LB injectors

70MM Throttle Body

Paxton Novi 2000

and it put down 339 RWHP and 350 TQ. That was with stock heads and cam. Your will make less then that by keeping the stock intake and everything else stock. Basicly you wont make much more then if you went with a Heads, Cam and intake package and that route would be cheaper to begin with then spending $3,000 on a blower and then you have to add the cost of a dyno tune.

Ive always hated FMU's with that same set up that I listed above I had #30LB injectors w/ the FMU and it would still run lean. I went to #42's and everything was fine.
