RE: supercharger? vs. motor build???
It all depends on the miles on your car.The price is going to be faily close.The built moter mite be more just depends onhow good u want it built.The supercharger wins hands down on the power gains.Way more horsepower with the supercharger period.

RE: supercharger? vs. motor build???
To get serious horse power #'s out of a 2 valve GT engine you almost always need some sort of forced induction or nitrous. You can get good #'s out of a naturally aspirated 2 valve but it takes 4 times the money it would to buy/ install/ tune a forced induction 2 valve engine. Code3gt on here has a n/a beast that puts 350rwhp or thereabouts (correct me if I'm off Code) but there is no telling how much loot he has in that engine. I would reccommend a blower or nitrous first (until the engine takes a crap) and then a forged shortblock and re-worked ported heads, cams, etc. This is my angle of attack. I can't wait until my engine takes a **** so I can justify to my wife that the engine needs to be built with high performance stuff. I'll prolly get divorced over it but oh well. ROFL!
