    No you need new pistons, valves, and cams too.

    Yes you can run the engine with a supercharger, on the stock pistons, as well as the rest of the stock internals.

    You only should upgrade when pushing past 420 whp. Raising the rpm limit is also a good reason to upgrade the internals, if using boost as well.

    Anyone think they have the liver to play the Interstellar drinking game?
    Beer only. I don't want any deaths on my hands.
    Take a swig everytime "Murf!" is said.

    Good luck.
