Default So many options!!!!

k....so here are my options!

$2100 PI swap with new heads, intake, labor, and cam.....or piece it together from wrecked stangs
already hoping to get the cam from a member for 100 bucks shipped

$3200 installed and tunedSupercharger this bad boy with a KB and get 310 rwhp(I think, maybe wrong on the brand)

$400 Just install the PI cam and gain a healthy 15rwhp and leave it at that for now That would leave money to tint the windows, prolly black out the front lights, add some racing stripes ect

What should I do?? I'm a college kid, working over the summer, no bills or car payment....and I love my car.....So some money is already going into it

well as long as you are going with a head swap you might as well get some that are gonna flow like a ****, and an aggressive cam to go with it, i wouldnt go anything over stage 2 for a daily driver though. 310 hp for a superchared car doesnt seem like much at all, do the pi swap now and then get the supercharger later on, you will see much better results

yea I was told that about the pi swap first......310 rwhp vs about 390-400 rwhp!!!

Stage 1 cam or Stage 2 cam would be nice.....but it's hard to turn down a PI cam for 100 bucks shipped.....

You would only see more than 390 rwhp if you have done several other bolt ons (unless you have a lot of boost), but doing the PI swap first is probably your best bet.

needless to say I'd be running full boltons if I get the money up for a blower haha

Long tubes, t/b and p are about all I'm lacking

Heads, cams and having that tuned will put you damn near 3k. Get the s/c and you won't suffer when it comes to drive-ability. The boost is there when you need it and the ride won't be sacraficed. Now, if you want that aggressive *** sound, then get the heads and cams, but IMO the KB s/c will still provide more HP than the other scenario.
