Allright you want the most??? All I've got to ask is how much money you wantin to spend ; )) Because your looking at a good 3 if not up to 5 or 7 thousand dollars... I hate to be the one to break this to you, but it's just the plain and simple truth!!! I too am doing some simple mods to my 99' v6, but I'm also replacing a whole lot of what I call safe precautions... Here's what all I'm doing to give you some price ideas and let you decide if you really want to do this, plus I'm doing a lot of the work myself, so you've got to figure in some labor cost here and there to get the right idea...

I will also get an IAT sensor and front main seal from dodge as well in the not so distant future
Now I'm sure I've left out quite a bit on this list but as you can see so far it is quite expensive!!! AND I'm only going to be getting around 200 and some hp... So factor in the stroke kit for another $2500 to $3000 and on top of that if your wanting 400 and some hp the supercharger $2500 to $5000 depending on manufacturer, boost, style and so forth there plus the pistons if you really want to go all out... Not to mention for your ported heads $1200 from hughes or pay someone if your lucky around you $400 to $500 for them to do it, or yourself which is what I'm doing and even then you've got tools, so just try to keep all of this in mind...
Oh and cam degreeing, ignition ($250-$600), plugs, and yatta yatta yatta that I've forgotten about as of right now... Now don't let all of this scare you, but I'm affraid it's just simple fact that to build a 6cyl, you nearly have to pay 2x to 3x of what it cost to build a v8...
Or if you really don't care about your engine, the cheaper solution, nitrous...

Guess I shoulda read the allready installed SC part, so just go with most of the listed stuff and maybe some good JE hemispherical pistons just out for blown engines .040" regular, that way you don't mess with wall thickness too much... Also remember that the 5.2 has the same pistons if they say they don't have any for the 3.9, just get some for the 5.2... Then get your crank, con. rods, and upgrade all of your valve train stuff, to go along with all of your modded intake system...
Larry can really fill you in on all of the really good stuff...

10# is a lot of boost
I would think more along the lines of 6 to 8
I tell you 1 thing if you want max perf from the
blower you shold really port your heads, the
hughes cam HER1418AL-V6 266 270 advertised you
could go 1 step hotter, ported heads mod intake
headers and a mopar 2200rpm stall and take
advantage of the higher reving higher flowing
engine.
blowers and turbos love free flowing heads
3.91 gears and it would be very quick
If you want to run more boost you will need to
upgrade the lower end
some machine work on the crank to except the
heavier 318 rod would do it, ross or KB pistons
free floating rist pins
stay low on the comp you will be able to run more
timing and get better perf
