Do some research man, this info is all readily available in this amazing resource we have known as CorvetteForum. For starters: injectors, fuel pump, long tube headers, x pipe, meth injection, etc.
I say this only to make your life easier, not to be an *** but don't expect anyone to spoon feed you as members will be less willing to help you if you don't seem willing to help yourself. Do some searching, read up on what others have done and ask specific questions from there.

Valve springs, injectors, fuel pump, and a clutch. Add those with the blower and you should be fine.

your hp goal is also broad, you should figure out where you want to be then plan how to get there... some guys are content with 500 on the stock motor and others have made upwards of 1k and the parts selection will vary greatly between those 2 numbers... if you want to make the higher number then plan to spend at least the same amount of money or more on supporting mods as you spent on the blower kit

As mentioned, you need to provide more info. Is the procharger kit complete? which one?
