Not sure if this is the correct forum to post this but it was the closest I could find for my questions.
What is involved to take a stock 98 5.0 & say ether add a turbo or supercharger. I know a few of the obvious things like intake & exhaust & having to tweak the computer to accept it all but if I go supercharger I believe they need a higher compression of like 10:1 & I believe the 5.0 is around 8:1. I am sure with 80K & the oil I have on a few of the plugs I am less so I am looking at most likely a complete rebuild. I guess my question is would it be more cost effective & time saving to just buy a performance crate engine for around 5-6K or rebuilding what I have with say a turbo?
