Build path towards supercharging
What would you all suggest, in order, to building a supercharged engine?
Currently I have for all intents and purposes a stock 350 TPI with 87K miles.
I intend on supercharging it but haven't found a mod path.

I could suggest a set of TRW blower/Turbo dish top pistons, stock LT4 steel crank (1 pc rear main seal), and a set of 5.7" H-beams from doug herbert performance (cheaper eagle copies)

Okay. I'm not THAT close to actually putting a charger on. I guess at this point i'm just looking for supporting mods.
i.e. ignition, fuel, air.......

if you want a supercharger supporting mod then get a crane Hi6-TR it is more expensive than the MSD 6BTM but unlike the BTM it actually works as advertised "pulls out timing under boost with a dial control. I dont know why the msd units do not perform as advertised, they just dont under dyno testing. buy some intake mods or rocker arms (late 1.6 ratio style) the rest of the mods come with the blower (fuel and in some manufacturers even the ignition)

also some exhaust mods make a big effect cat back, high flow cats, cat back system also if you are only going with about a 8-10 psi kit then bigger injectors are not really required but i recommend getting some newer ones to prevent sad situations (ford motorsport 24#) are nearly the same flow wise, and are abetter built injector to replace your possibly older leaking or clogged ones

Ahhh. Thanks.
At this point I have 2 injectors that are nearly dead. Sooo, I need new ones. Would I be able to get the 24# without messing with the ECM or .......
Just don't want to replace things twice.

you have a 5.7 (350) so your injectors are the 22# to 24# interchangable variants now as it is. your computer will not react adversely. I usually sell my TPI customers the 24# ford motorsport injectors they work great.
