New Build Advice Needed

I have one sitting in a duster I was thinking about boosting. With the poor head flow I think it will be a good candidate for compounds; hx35 over an eBay gt45. Forged pistons, and a decent size intercooler. Would be difficult to NOT make 300hp.

EFI would be a great choice.

Also, to weigh in on long rod motors it’s not a great thing with boost especially paired with an iron head. Long rods increase dwell at top dead center decreasing the tuning window and increasing the chances of detonation.
