    99-02 GT 4.6 supercharger problem

    we were just wondering if anyone had any problems with supercharing the 4.6 GT motors. We heard they could not handle superchargers on the stock 4.6L.
    thanks

    I wouldn't worry about the rumors you have heard. I have not seen any 4.6 motors come apart using stock boost unless another part fails (ie..fuel problem). All of the major manufactures have kits designed for stock engines. If they were unsafe, they would not be selling like hot cakes.

    Mine went boom with 8lbs and only about 3000 miles of blower time. Putting in my Forged SHM longblock this weekend. I had damn good fuel delivery for my HP numbers.
