i wouldn't think you would have to be to concerned about the top or bottom end , unless you are running more than 10lbs of boost just to be on the safe side i wouldn' run more than 8lbs of boost. but i have heard of people going to 10lbs. good luck..

A t/b and upper plenum would be a plus with the blower.

Now i'm not a guru on forced induction but I think that you are going to need to soup up your fuel system which if I am right should come with the kit inline fuel pump and injectors but other than that it sounds like you got the rest takencare of.
