What use to use in our supercharged engine's
I am at the point where I need to do my first oil change on my roush supercharged engine. What weight\filters do you guys run?

No different to N/A, just what your manual recommends for your engine.
5w-20 is hard to find where I am (at a reasonable price) so I opted for 5w-30 (Castrol full synthetic) and I also got a deal on buying a bulk lot of K&N filters. You could get a different answer from every reply on any oil / filter related question so the easy answer is your favourite brand oil & filter that meet the spec's for your engine.
I don't see a problem staying with the recommended synthetic blend from ford and I wouldn't switch to a full synthetic until I felt the motor was sufficiently run in, your mileage may vary on this. IMO the extra protection at a reasonable cost is just peace of mind as opposed to necessary.

I used 5W-30 for my first couple oil changes, but now that I'm supercharged I switched to the 5W-50 Mobil 1 full synthetic with the Mobil 1 filter (can't remember the part number).

I use Amsoil 10W40 XL full synthetic and their E017 filter. I go 5-6k in-between changes.
I buy the oil and filters directly off Amsoil.com and get great pricing since I signed up as a Preferred Customer ($10/6-months or $20/yr and it's almost wholesale pricing)
