What kind of hardparts would i need to look at for a supercharged motor?
what type of compression should i be running before the charger?
how about compression with the charger on there?
what preparations do i need to do in order to make my engine ready for a supercharger?
would you advise a turbo or a supercharger?

Depending on the boost you will use, most fellows if planning over about 6 lbs of boost will use a 4-bolt block, steel crank and rods and forged pistons.

Compression around 8:1 will support a blower very well.

Look at Blower Drive Service's site. Click on "tech info" and you can figure all kinds of different combinations.

Turbo or supercharger is up to the individual.
