i was thinking of getting a jacksons supercharger, what sort of internals would be a must to keep her strong and not be over powered by the increased psi?

the jackson kit is designed for a stock engine, so you can just get it and bolt it on. if you would like the comfort of knowing your engine can handle it everyday, look into forged connecting rods, forged pistons at about 9:1 - 9.6:1(stock?) compression and arp rod bolts and head studs to hold it together.

about the charger, what if i replaced with new oem parts? would that be more reliable then my current internals and just not as reliable as forged? and what about price on new oem as opposed to forged?

if you are gonna put oem internals in then just save up a few extra bucks in and put in forged units, but yes oem will stand up longer than what you have now but depends on how hard you drive it because they are brand new. but they could fail earlier with boost because they wernt desinged for that
