Running supercharger on Vq35HR
Hey there, Recently I've been doing research regarding supporting mods to do on a stock HR with a Soho ATA Lyte Supercharger. I don't plan on aiming for excessive numbers maybe mid 500 low 600HP healthily. From what I've grabbed so far is that VQ stock can handle that without issue and it would it would be best to run Boundry Billet oil pump, External fuel filter, New Gallery Gaskets, Water pump, Bigger injectors and Fuel pump etc... But when it comes to Valve set, Pistons, Connecting rods is it really worth it if I'm not trying to get excessive numbers? Ive came in contact with others who are running the same kit and noticed most run JWT/Tomei Cams and resurfaced block. Ive been debating to refresh the engine I currently have due with new Timing chain and Tensioner with Z1Timing Kit, oem Valves and Camshaft if necessary due to it being a motor with 100K miles. What advice would you give me before I get started please lead me in the right direction.

The right direction is the one that fits your budget.
I'm running a V3 with stock pulley and internals at about 475 HP and 111k miles. Professional install and tune ran over $8k even with the used supercharger kit costing $3k. Will I eventually bend a rod? Probably.
A shop will do a build for you and the quote is just that, things can change and cause you to go over budget and they will not return your keys until they are paid. Sure mine's fun to drive but remember you'll never get your $$$$ back when you sell. Gl.

I wouldnt open up your engine unless you want over 500hp - HRs are holding 500hp on 12psi to 15psi of boost.
A few things to consider how you’d tune - probably the most realistic option is Uprev unless you want to go Haltech with a custom harness.
I would do a compression test to see how compression is but plenty of people boosting these blocks past 100k -
