Hmm how much boost? I recommend sticking with only 6# of boost with 9:5 or 9:0 compression. The more boost you run the more likely you'll just shower the road with the bottom end of your motor. Before installing the supercharger try to get the block built to take supercharging. With Arp studs (main, head), arp rod bolts, crower rods, Trw pistons, stud gridle, aftermarket balancer, o-ring the block, should make the block bullet proof for about 10#s of boost. The internal parts of the engine could take more but I've heard that 351c have thin casting walls, which reduce how much boost the can take.

Hope this helps

P.S. Boost is nothing more than a measuring of how ineffiecent your engine is(well sorta of). An engine with more porting, polishing and flow will produce less boost than a stock block with the same pully. More airflow = less boost.
