Default Supercharging a 5.2

OK fellas, i've been reading on the forums through and through... but everywhere i look there isn't a whole lot of information that pertains to me. So i'm starting my own... now i have a 98 5.2 318 and am looking into a supercharger as my next mod. This will be my first supercharger to ever play with but i have the basics down of having to build a bracket and whatnot. So next step is where to find one? any suggestions?

Feel like learning Megasquirt? The stock PCM does not play well with boost, you have to go to a custom fuel injector driver.

If you mean Hemifever's, no. All he does is re-program the PCM. But the PCM is not designed to read a manifold pressure, only a vacuum. Going boosted, all Sean can do is pretty much guess on your fuel tables, because the PCM is going to be confused as hell.
