Guess that would depend how much money you have to spend and what you're looking to get out of the car.

The KB kit is 3100, a vortec kit is 4000, HP power is not really my goal but I would b happy with 400hp/12sec car, it ran 14.8 before the trick flow intake, and long tube headers, havent been to the track since but know i havent gained much if any

4 grand for a vortech kit, which kit are you looking at?! I'm not sure what's all included with the Vortech kits but each blower will need some supporting mods and a tune to run them. What other mods does your car have?
