Random questions about upgrades

I was wondering if someone were planing on putting a supercharger on a engine a little bit down the road. what are some parts that NEED to get upgraded so a engine could run properly and net blow up like valves and fuel stuff. What should be upgradedone first to make it safe I guess. Thanks

Start with basic tune up items plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter, distributor and rotor, etc

you should be able to run low boost up to 6-7 psi without too many issues.

i ran the above with water meth injection and everything else stock

it ran ok

Your fuel system is gonna need to be rock solid. Bigger injectors, boost refrenced fuel pressure regulator, a way to tune it, a larger pump at the minimum and some sort of way to retard the ignition timing when in boost
