if you are serious about supercharging a 4.7
you should be serious about changing the stock pistons
which from the factory have
small 'ring land distance' above the top ring groove
and the weakest one of your eight pistons
will fail under supercharged boost
unless without fail
a high octane fuel is used like E85 all the time

Hank, shouldn't you also go with a forged crank and ported heads?
