1600 engine build

Hi everyone. My name is Malcolm and I am new to the forum. I am about to build a Hillman 1600 engine and I am going to supercharge it with a SC12 supercharger. At the moment I plan on setting it up as a blow through with a Webber carb set up.
I see on ebay someone building stronger valve train parts and also roller rockers. Anyone had any experiance with these parts or seller ?.
Also what do racer guys use for pistons and rods ? I would prefer to use forged pistons if I can. I know years ago when young we used to use Zephar pistons as thy were flat top and boosted compression. Not what I want here with a superchrger.
Cheers Mal
