I can't believe this isn't being hotly discussed. Maybe it is new news, but Ford Racing's supercharger kits for the 5.0 are being released at 525 hp/470 ft-lb with 7psi and warranty, or for $300 more you can get a 624 hp/536 ft-lb, 9 psi tune.
The price is extremely salty at $7200 for the black 7psi kit. That would have bought two superchargers back in the old 5.0 days!!! However, considering you can get a 2011 Mustang GT with the Brembo brakes, add this supercharger, and still be $5-$10k cheaper than a new GT500.... well. Need I say more?:coolman:
Here's a couple of links with more information:

BTW, it's a 2.3L Whipple twin screw.
