Put a used blower at 8lbs on your stock engine and you'll have your horsepower goals. People usually make around 420rwhp with similar combinations.
No need for a forged rotating assembly as long as you don't get greedy with the boost and power.

I was making nearly 500 rwhp on the stock block with no issues for over 3 years. If you have a good tuner and get it dyno tuned you can get away with 450-500 hp. If you have an inter, or the Vortech after cooler, that makes things even safer. I would go with 1 size smaller than the stock 3.6 pulley and that should put you around 450
block and crank will handle anything you can throw at them..1200+hp all day long.
rods and pistons..not so much.

A "shortblock" consists of the blocm, crank, rods and pistons.
Your shortblock will work for power levels up to 450rwhp (with shortened life of course). Anything more will require rods and pistons.
I want to build up my motor first that way if I do go SC ill have a good platform to run some higher boost
Good plan!!!
Throw a s/c on it, tune it and enjoy..
Good plan.
