Put together a kit with used pieces. As long as you don't go over 8-10psi you will not damage your factory engine as it is. You will need push rods, valve springs, injectors and a 255 lph fuel pump.
Iv been researching the rods and springs, was planning on a cam as an option too. All that boost the cars going to need upgrades, planning on upgrading the liters.for.good measure as well. Although I'm not sure if its needed since the car was built for power to begin with.
