Does anyone know if you can add a turbo to a 4.6 in a 1997 HSE? Would a supercharger be better?:5bAngel_anim:

Unless you lowered the compression ratio a turbo would blow your engine in no time at all. Superchargers are always better than turbos. No lag, but without other mods same effect on engine sadly.

I imagine that's why Overfinch use small block Chevy lumps instead of forced induction.
