Default M112 Supercharger and Adapter Questions

I'm thinking of getting the M112 supercharger adapter from Super Six, and I have a few questions about it. First off, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if anything needs to be rerouted electrically, or if any fuel or brake systems would need to be rerouted. I was also wondering if 39Lb fuel injectors would be sufficient.

The other question I have was that would I have to buy forged rods and pistons to run the supercharger over 5 psi without having reliability issues. I heard somewhere that 5-6 psi was the max for the rotating assembly, and pistons and rods.

Third, would I need to replace the 7.5 with an 8.8, or should I just put a T-Loc in (I know that it all depends on psi because the 7.5 can take up to 300 horse). And I think i would need a new clutch but I'm not certain.

Finally, is there any hood with a 3.5" cowl to fit that beast of an Eaton under it, because it sticks out pretty high.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Nothing electrical or anything involving the brakes needs to be touched concerning going m112. 39lbers will be more than efficient. You don't need forged internals aren't needed when running the stock pulley and basing what parts you need off the psi you are running is stupid. Go with the 8.8 over the 7.5 and if you have a 5speed a stronger clutch is a good idea. There are plenty of hoods out there with a cowl large enough if you use the SSM adaptor. Do some research.

He might be able to get by with the 7.5" if he gets a detroit true trac and T/A girdle, but the 8.8" definetly has higher limitations. How much does an 8.8" swap run these days, and what is the psi on the stock pulley?

the 8.8 swap depends on how much you can find the 8.8 for. its a pretty easy swap bro and as for the stock pulley, correct me if im wrong mysteed, but i wanna say it is 6-7 psi

Well if I can come up with the cash I'm going to put in forged internals, because if I do something I want it done right the first time so things don't break down the road. And if I do this I'll probably run 8-10 psi because of the forged internals.

I just have one more question, I was reading the thread about this on 3.8 Mustangs, but I still can't decide whether this upgrade would require new suspension work. Mysteed, did you put in better suspension when you did the upgrade? I'm just basing my information, off your car because you obviously know more than me; I'm trying to learn.

With that set up you would definetly need the 8.8"

As far as suspenion mods go, the only one I would see as being absolutley nesseccary would be sub frame connectors; but if you want to do it right then you should also look into a rear sway bar and a strut tower brace which will need to fit around the blower.

I did no suspension upgrades after the m112. I had already put in a 8.8 and it's held up fine under all the abuse that I've given the car.
