That's a worthy upgrade if you want the hassle of a new vehicle.

Hey guys was wondering if anyone knew of any good forged internal sets? Or is it usually cheaper to mix brands and what not? Also since I got my motor I can finally put my supercharger on! So what could I do to make the PI heads stronger? Or should they be fine?

I'm not sure what to look at for boost, I know my supercharger has a 9 lbs pulley on it rn

Has anyone done a lightning swap on the stock block and trans? How long did it Last? Assuming you keep it at low boost it should be OK for a while right?

If you're only running 9psi, I wouldn't worry about changing anything. It'll take it fine. I've seen plenty-o-Mustang run 12psi on the stock internals with no issues.
