im thinking about doing this as well when i put some money together.
obviously you will need a sealed plenum chamber of some kind and an induction pipe from the supercharger to the plenum, i would say that you would
need to fit a air flow/intake temp sensor in the induction pipe somewhere

Supercharging is the cheap way.
Mini cooper s super chargers are available for about £100, then all you need is a suitable inlet manifold and fuelling system (preferably
injection)...
Standard pinto will take 6-8psi of boost as long as you run an intercoolers. This is only on a stock engine which hasnt had the CR raised at all.
Having said that for ultimate reliability obviously forged pistons and rods are the way to go.
A completely standard pinto running 6psi of boost will pump out around 200bhp.

7psi on a standard efi pinto is 180bhp thats all i got on mine.
For pinto supercharging have a hunt on some auz ford forums. They seem to like them.

I'd recommend a couple of books
1) Forced Induction Tuning by Graham Bell
2) Supercharged! by Corky Whathisname
Second one has more mathematical detail but first has more background info.
Neither ridiculously expensive....
