Cams n heads. Required. If staying N/A. Or u can just go the supercharger route....

I have all the basic bolt-ons minus cams, ported heads, and longtube headers. And I'm at only 264hp at the wheels..

Easiest? I say grab a Trickflow Twisted Wedge 38cc head/cam package off Summit Racing and go get a dyno tune done.

is this a serious question?

And you dont needs heads to make 300.. Multiple local guys around me have LTs full bolt ons and cams and are 303-311 wheel. The cars also trap 109-110mph at the track, so the dyno #s are pretty close
