supercharged or naturally aspired
I'm really debating with this issue. I'm not sure if I should s/c my car or not. How much power can I really get with nothing but bolt ons. My wishlist : L/T headers, Comp Cams, BBK throttle body.

I think it was brenspeed that did a write up on things you can do without supercharging. They did cams and all that stuff and got pretty good hp but not as much hp as supercharging and they spent just as much money if not more if I recall everything correctly.

RE: supercharged or naturally aspired
ok first things first.
BBK TB: not really worth it. from what i know you only gain a few ponies. not worth it in my opinion.
with that said the rest of your list looks pretty good for a NA setup. dont forget a custom tune and a CAI with the L/T's. those 3 mods should get you too around 330rwhp. with the cams id say you would probably be making like 350-375rwhp. thats a very respectable number right there. if thats enough for you then stop and be done with it. if your looking for 400+ then definitely go FI. a supercharger with a tune and CAI will produce around 420rwhp on 7psi of boost or so. its all about what you want.

I'm kind of in the same situation, but think i'm going to drop the money in my suspension. Then add the Stage3 Comp Cams, L/T Headers, and I should be where I want to be. I already have CAI, X-Pipe, Gears, etc...
