Yes, it will need to be converted to mass air. I wouldn't hesitate putting a supercharger on a 5.0 with only 110,000 miles on it, but for piece of mind, it wouldn't hurt to re-ring the pistons.

Convert to mass air and upgrade that fuel system.

Do a compression test, and a leakdown test to check the condition of the block and heads, and make sure to install new injectors, fuel pump, and enjoy the boost!

Definitely mass air, and a fuel system upgrade. Do the basic checks and determine everything is sound. Then install the charger. 110k is not alot of miles, those 302's are pretty tough.

leave it speed density, there are superchargers made for speed density cars. If speed density is so bad, why are the Supra guys switching away from mass air?
