It depends who you ask. I'm more of a proponent of building the engine up as much as I can before slapping on a power adder, but others will say just throw on an S/C and call it a day.

agreed.

the heads are the best bet, they make power from idle on up and make nearly every other mod work better. paint them black and nobody will know. if you put a blower on a stock car you have a slow car with a blower. id rather make the power naturally and add a blower (or my preferance a turbo) later.

I wouldnt mind having a blower an h/c/i kit but then wouldnt i have to get bigger fuel injectors which means really bad gas mileage right? I really really do not want that since it is my daily driver ya kno? Thats why i was thinking get the blower then in a couple months get a intake manifold then in like a year or so if im not satisfyed with the power i have then get a pair of heads. This being if i wont have bad gas mileage. If it means i do have bad mpg then would i be ok with just the blower an maybe the intake eventually? Thx for replys!

wrong! when you get bigger injectors you get a maf calibrated for them. the maf basically tells teh injectors to spray less since they are bigger which causes the motor to use the same amount of fuel as before. the reason you get bigger injectors is because they are ABLE to pump more fuel when needed. daily driving the extra fuel isnt needed so they dont spray anymore then they need to....but when you floor it, they spray much more


id just get the heads. personally i have the 165's and a sc.....the head swap was a lot more work then installing the sc but the sc will need tuning where with the heads, reseting the computer will be pretty much all the tune you need

id put the heads on then intake, cam and headers, then charger....
that way you get the most performance out of the supercharger. also then if anything ever happens to the supercharger you dont go back to stock hp waiting on it to be fixed or get another one.... just my .02

I'd buy the AFRs. The 6psi supercharger will be a small model and limit your potential i.e. less future bang for the buck.
