Really if you wish to run 10-12psi you'll need to build up the stock internals. Siueclipse is right that you really need to do a search, but at the same time I realize that you will get a lot of people who don't know what they are talking about. I did a small search for you and most people will agree that you need to do bottom end work if your going to boost that high.

Then go look at what people have in thier mods list for cars running 10+ psi. Really the howell website is one of the few I have seen that really supports parts and mods for 420a cars both turbo or non. My buddy had a turbo'ed 420a and he bought his bottom end kit from them. He has since sold it but I asked him and he agreed that you should look into a built bottom end.

stage I is around 4 psi
stage II is around 7 psi and is the same as stage I but intercooled (usually FMIC but SMIC as well)
stage III is around 13 psi stage II plus a built bottom end ( and typically has improved fuel delivery as well)

please note I am not a wiseman (Im more of a wise ass but thats beside the point) so these numbers might be a bit off, your milage may vary.

I cant comment on stage III because I am stage II and dont plan on being stage III prolly ever (life has taken pesidence over modding my car, nto to mention the fact it cost me 1500 for a new tranny installed and then my ECU blew up)

get what you can afford and what you can handle. Im VERY happy at 7PSI in my car and I dont need to push any more boost, im just happy Im not NA anymore. I personally have a star kit but I would suggest a HAHN kit for you, they have excellent tech support, I even called and got some answers to some questions I had.

and doing a search is not a bad idea at all, questions like this pop up all the time and a quick search can net you a plethora of answers without the wait.

I hope I was at least somewhat helpful.
