Pretty much any solid heads/cam/intake 5 liter falls into this category. The important part is making sure the rest of the car is set up correctly.

I don't really feel like running nitrous mainly because there is no real tuner where I live and I'll end up doing the tuning with a quarterhorse.

Unsure if tuning nitrous with a quarterhorse is gonna be too hard. And I don't really wanna fill up the bottle over and over so thats why I rather do it with a blower, but preferably n/a.
 
1991 GT, full weight, A/C, P/S and all other factory accessories.

302, Twisted Wedge heads, Trick Flow 51402001 cam (if I remember correctly), Trick Flow R-series intake, 75mm throttle body, Pro-M 77mm maf and all the common bolt ons. Thru a 5 speed and 3.55 gears it went 11.59 @ 114mph on a 26x8.5 slick.

Would I need to upgrade my fuel lines rails if I were to put on a vortech v3 supercharger pullied to 10lbs of boost on stock motor?

I heard you only need to get a bigger diameter supply line, aftermarket fuel rails, and a 255 fuel pump? Is this true?
 
Oh yeah will I need to run these pistons if I get trick flow heads on a 302?

Trick Flow Specialties TFS-51404000 - Trick Flow® Forged Pistons - Overview - SummitRacing.com

Can I still use stock rods and crank?
The stock pistons are fine, but always double check your ptv to make sure.

The entire bottom end of the 5.0 is reliable. I heard they dont break down till after 9k rpms. and like 800 hp. The pistons are forged, not sure about the rods and crank.
Not so much. Anywhere from 500-650 hp depending on the quality of your rotating assembly, and how well your assembly is balanced. And I would love to see you rev a stocker to 9k. I can see the carnage now.... lol. Prolly better be out of the gas by 7k on a stock motor. My 2 cents.

My buddy is still on stock rails and lines with his supercharged 342. He's got a 255 in tank and a t-rex boost a pump. It's not ideal, and needs to be upgraded, but he put down 475rwhp through a 4k stall. Tuner said to upgrade fuel system also.
 
Does anyone if those pistons are balanced? I couldn't tell by looking on summit.

Can I use my stock rods and crank with those pistons? Do I need to get them re-balanced?
You balance the rotating assembly together, not piece by piece.
