i blew the motor so i figured while the engines taken apart might as well get it ready for whatever might come in the future
Ah ha, that 'splains it! You mentioned you had "aftermarket rods", are the rods and pistons forged? If so, you shouldn't have to worry much about supercharging or turbocharging the car. I wouldn't go nuts with the boost, but 12-14lbs. on a forged 10 to 1 compression motor shouldn't be an issue.
