Get a book called "Maximum Boost" by Corky Bell and read it before you start.
That will help you out a lot on sizing the charger. It really depends on if it will be a street or track only car as to the size of charger you run, what exhaust housing, etc...
You can get a setup that won't spool for **** on the street so it's no fun to drive, or you can have near instant spool up but choke it out on the topend.
Get with someone who has experience doing it on these types of engines and let them help you spec a charger, as long as gaining some understanding of whats going on for yourself.
