Anyone supercharged a 5.2
Well i am starting a project with a 99 dakota 4x4 that has a tired 5.2 in it .
I have just bought a 5.2 long block crate with 8.5:1 compression, M! intake, comp cams 262hr cam and i have a vortech V1 supercharger to top it off.
I plan to drop it in on my next set of days off and break in the motor for a month with no blower.
I am looking for info for what kind of fuel pump and injectors to go with ?
i havent made up my mind to have it tuned on 92 octane (witch is every where) or on 94 where i can only by at one gas station chain.
if anyone has any helpful info it would be much appreciated

You need a way to boost the fuel into the engine when supercharging so depending what method you use will determine if you require larger injectors. Easiest way is to use an Aeromotive Digital FMU which will up fuel pressure based upon boost levels.
You may get by with your stock injectors if not adding more than 5-6 lbs of boost.

Well thanx for the reply. I have done a ton of research and talked to a lot of performance shops and a hand full of tuners. my project is changing a bit , ive decided im gonna throw in a all forged bottom end stroker kit and supercharge a 390, im also going to go with a full stand alone Vipec ecu.

Just for comparison sake my Accel Gen 7 system cost me $2,500 four years ago and the harness another $500.00 so this is a killer deal.
