You might want to add some strength to the bottom end. In my case I added a 9# boost supercharger - crank driven - and to be sure I held my engine together I added ARP bolts to the head, main and rod bearings. I have 56,000 miles in it with no problems. Of those miles lots of passes on the drag strips and many road course runs. Still have great compression on engine.

I also added in a FMU (fuel management unit) to add extra fuel under boost. The key is not to run lean!!! Lean = melt down!
