The engine will be fine with 77k and a supercharger. The stock block is good for about 500hp.

A Vortech S-Trim @ 9lbs of boost will give you an increase of around 120 or so hp...So that'd put you at 325 @ the crank, or about 275 rwhp.

That seems a little low. Just the base kit claims 275hp.

hmm, ok that makes sense not to pull out the motor. So for 3 grand, we're talking only 325hp? theres got to be a better more powerful option!

Nah, thats prolly the best bang for your buck. But save another 3k up and rebuild the motor with a low compression, forged, stroker kit and you'll have around 475 at the crank with the right setup. You may have to make the 325hp last you awhile but thats part of it. I hope we can all reach our goal one day.

Or you could get a trickflow h/c/i/ kit, forged stroker kit, and a bottle of N2O. You could do that for 5k and have 500+ hp.
