Re: 355 question

Get some nice forged pistons. Diamond, JE or SRP would be a good start. They have some that are reasonably priced. try to run an 8.5:1 or no more than 9:1 compression with that much boost. Ditch the stock rods in favor of some Eagle sir rods or the like and use quality fasteners like ARP for the rod bolts.

Re: 355 question

Someone with more experience using forced induction could better answer that question. Personally I would get better rods. Pistons obviously are a must with FI, I am using Ross pistons and I'm pleased with them. I'm sure any quality forged piston would be fine. Also, why not go with a "self contained" ATI so you don't have to mess with tapping the pan and running lines to the SC? Just my .02.

Try posting in the forced induction section and see what those guys recommend.
