Well now that I have been swapped for about a month, I still want to put a procharger or KB on the car, what will be necessary for this to work, all help is appreciated.

I see that your heads are ported and polished... when you got that done did you have them remove the swirl dams to lower compression? If so, I think you can just slap the blower on like you would any car... if not, then I believe you're going to need new pistons to lower compression. I think most people would suggest getting forged uh, everything, while you're at it.

Why not go with a nice set of agressive cams and some gears to wake that puppy up? Not saying that you shouldn't go S/C, but with the headswap and increased compression some pre-work and a careful tune might be required to keep it reliable.

There are a lot of options out there. PM KenB to see what he has done N/A. VT Stage 1 or 2 cams & springs, a good set of gears will really get that car cranking. I cannot do cams b/c of very restrictive emission testing.

BTW: Do NOT use a blower cam when you are N/A. I can assure you that you will lose hp/tq.

I am just going to run the stock block, but I want all forged internals, and a lower compression piston so I can run a decent amout of boost(mabey 12-14)

I just checked out DSS, and they have a 4.6 pro modular for 2799, seems like this will be the way to go.
