Default How to build my engine with a supercharger?

Welp, first of all I have a pretty stock mustang. I do know what supporting mods I would need to run the supercharger. However, I would like to mildly build up my engine to be able to support the supercharger. My focus is the engine in this question.

I have decided I do want to run gt40 heads and lower intake to run a kenne belle. I am not looking to make more than 300-350 to the wheels. I want to have a very streetable build that allows me to keep it as a dd, use 91 octane or lower if possible and take it to the track 3-4 times outta the year.

I'm most likely going to rebuild the engine to a 306 and would like suggestions for any internal engine mods that I should do.

I also know that all internal items are already forged except for the crank? Should I go with a better crank?

Edit: Also would like to know what I would need to do to my aod to support that much hp to the wheels?

Thanks for your suggestions.

if your looking at power levels in the 300-350 range i wouldnt worry about replacing the crank at all only if you going above 400. I'd send your aod out to high performance trans shop and get it rebuilt or just buy a built one on ebay
