supercharged fastburn 385 hot cam stock tpi or tpis stealth ram?

i am putting a fastburn 385 hot cam motor in my 88 iroc. i understand stock tpi setup naturally asp will kill this motor so i will probably buy the ridiculously overpriced tpis setup.. i also have a procharger d1sc tpi blower setup. i was wondering if i needed to spend the money or just use the stock tpi if i supercharge. any problems supercharging this motor? any ideas would be greatly appreciated. also any ideas on headers for fastburn heads in a 3rd gen car? maf or map? dont mind converting if i have to. im lost> anyone done similar setup? this could turn into a pricey experiment. dont mind if it works.

Even with a supercharger you still need an intake manifold that will match the power characteristics of the engine. Using a stock TPI intake will just boost the low end torque beyond usefulness and kill the top end of that engine.

Personally, I would get the HT 383 if I were to supercharge.
