Going with their Stage 2 Long Block and the 9:1 Wiseco pistons ... will probably max out the Vortech V3 with the upgraded impeller for now.
Might need to upgrade to the V7 later.
Most supporting work is done - just waiting on the motor.
Do you think 9:1 pistons are the best choice for a supercharged motor? I'm no engine builder, but the ones I've seen built at JTran with lower CRs lose a lot of power. And with a supercharger, you cannot just turn up the boost to compensate like on a turbo. You are almost maxed out on CFMs with the Stillen Kit as is. Just something to think about. You could be giving up a substantial amount of power.
