What supercharger for my 5.0?

With what I've done: Custom chip, exhaust (removed two cats), intake, s/c at 10 PSI, little porting here and there ;) and 43 degree weather got me a 14.3 in the 1/4 mile with detonation. If it wasn't for the detonation I think I could have pulled a 14 flat.

What is stock PSI on the s/c?
 






I bought mine with the 9 PSI pulley which means it will pull 6 PSI (on a 5000 rpm max) truck. Then I got the 11 PSI pulley and I pull 9-10 PSI on regular basis.

Can I just start off with the 11 PSI?

Yea, but I'd at least go with Iridium spark plugs and the 255 lph intank pump. A custom burnt chip is a MUST.

EE always made that statement with their kits, but I haven't had any problems or loss since I've had the FMS headers. I'm getting ready to order some Torque Monster headers, so I'm hoping it improves even more.
