Aftermarket SC kits are sometimes hit and miss when it comes to daily driver reliability. Even at 6psi I don't think stock 19lb injectors and the stock fuel pump would be up to the task safely. Sure they might work but is it worth the motor to go cheap?
SC kit of your choice will need to address these issues. Injectors, Fuel Pump, and tuning is the most important. Blown applications require very good tuning or the motor will suffer. The Hypertech is far from up to the task. Your bro needs to have a custom chip burned along with a full on Wideband Dyno secession to work all things out.
Before I would go straight to a SC, I would open the exhaust and intake up.
Longtubes, mid pipe and catback along with a Cobra intake and 3.55s would be a good starting point before the SC. My friend has been doing mods to his 95 5.0 for awhile now and he's sitting at 363rwhp.
All boltons, mid headers, ported stock intake, blower cam, ported heads etc, Procharger @ 8psi.
His intake @ mid headers are hurting him as a H/C blown 5.0 should reach around 400rwhp.
