Ugrading a 302 with supercharger?

[Bill Dapuzzo]

I've got a 1991 302c.i. fuel injected in my FFR and have a Vortech gear driven supercharger installed. Everthing else in pretty much standerd on the engine. Have had it going on 3 years and absolutely no complaints. Makes a world of difference as far as extra horsepower, 85 to 100 is my best guess. Go for it.

Kenne Bell was also used on a few of the original factory Excalibur Cobras, for what it's worth. The 302 is a VERY strong engine in general. If I could only do one mod when installing a supercharger it would be forged pistons. Stock pistons do in fact work well most of the time, even people running nitrous get away with stock pistons, at least up to a point.

I don't know where the line is with boost pressures or nitrous shots, but I'm sure when you do cross it and the first thing to go would be the pistons.
