So i'm planning on a forced induction setup, done some research on procharger, paxton, kenne bell, and vortech but haven't decided yet, doesn't really matter though i still have the same questions.
First, are forged internals a must or what? I know they say the stock bottom end is safe up to around 450 or so, but don't wanna chance it. Looked around and found mmr pistons,rings, and rod combo for $1,100. Was told not to worry about the stock crank because it can handle it. If i do decide to buy this kit, they have an option for notched pistons for higher lift cams. Leads me to the question, are the cms n/a stage 2 cams considered high lift or what? Here's the specs on them:
.560/.575 lift, 225/235 .050" duration, 108 LSA

I've tried to research this over and over, but i still don't completely understand, somebody please explain the different maf options to me. I've seen people mention the VMP 3" 75mm Blow Through slot-style maf/housing and the PMAS 3" Blow through w/ HPX maf and wiring adapter. What exactly are they and the reasons to switching instead of just a regular upgraded maf. Also what about the throttle body? any recommendations?
Another question i have is about the intercooler fitment, whichever sc kit i choose, i'm going to be installing an intercooler, are there any that are a better fitment than others? i've looked at the treadstone ones and they seem like thats what most prefer.
Any feedback, opinions, or personal experience on any of this or forced induction in general would be great, thanks.
