I want to go supercharged but Im deciding if I should just go N/A and buy a vette down the road. How much RWHP can I get going N/A and with what things. Thanks

There have been a few claims of 400hp I believe, but it's alot of money to get 400hp NA, it's just not really practical.

its not worth it. you can get over 400rwhp, but thats after well over 10,000$ has been spent and your car will NOT be street friendly with those numbers NA. to give you an idea, some stage 2 cams and full boltons will give you about 300rwhp. throw some heads and a better intake manifold, you can see roughly 330rwhp maybe more or less depends on your setup, tune, revs, etc...


you will get more power, better daily driving, and best of all, cheaper power just buying a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous vers. trying to get good numbers out of NA with these motors.

What? You can run longtubes perfectly fine with a supercharger! Who ever told you that lied.

As for supercharger you can piece a vortech for cheap.

It depends on what you want to do. For a street/strip car, the centri blowers like vortechs and prochargers are known to produce more top end horsepower. If you're into something like autocross, I think the low end torque of a KB would come in handy, but that
s a bit more than you want to spend at the moment. If you're just looking for more power, the centri will probably be a little more budget friendly.
