So they are charging you $700 for that ??? Little too pricey for me for 165's. I dont care if they were dipped in platinum.. thats alot of cake for 165's. You can get 205's for that price.

i know, but i would have to fly cut pistons, plus, they are 1300 for regular 165s, either way, which would be better, a supercharger would be mighty fun to have. The heads on my engine are stock, but they have never been ran.

Keep in mind w/ a S/C you'll need to upgrade your inj's, adj. FPR, 255 lph fuel pump and probably some other stuff too (unless it's included in that price).

If you go the s/c route, you can also buy some used GT-40's or P heads for cheap and then you get better heads and boost.

I have a set of brand new 24# injectors that i can sell and sacrafice a few more dollars for some 42#. Same situation with fuel pump. Which route would you guys take. Heads or supercharger. IM in need for speed, without blowing my engine, and i figure that a 6-9 pounds of boost wont damage my brand new 0 mile engine.
