Question Motor's H/P - EST 1/4?

I'm looking into different companies for building up a 302/306 for me to put in my car and make it more or less an everyday driver. I got a engine with these mods but courious if its good combo and what kind of h/p and 1/4 est i'm looking at? And do you think it'll be good and hold up with a small 8psi or so super charger?

306 Block
Forged Pistons (Didn't give me a brand)
Forged Crank/Rods (Didn't give me a brand)
Roller Cam (Didn't give me a brand)
Ported E7T3 Heads

That same block without all the forged parts rated 320 horses. I'm just wondering if i'll see any performance gains out of the forged parts or just have the peace of mind knowing I wont break them?

The original block that was much cheaper without forged parts, consisted of Keith Black 116 pistons which are the Hyperutectic. I heard bad things about those pistons and a little afraid to get them. So would the extra money be worth it to upgrade to all forge or just get the upgrade to the Forged Pistons and Roller Cam? And keep the stock crank?
