Default supercharger or top half kit?

i am looking at doing a big bolt on to my 88 lx, i want your opinions on which you think i should do first. The kb sc will produce liike 108 hp over stock, the trickflow (as tested on a 306 flattop piston motor with 9.5 to 1 comp. , 70mm tb, 190 fuel pump, mass air, and a 10* base timing) top half made 360 hp

what are your prices to compare????

and if prices don't matter, then obviously do whichever makes more power!!! i'd build the engine before adding a poweradder tho. that's my outlook.

Yeah i agree. Do all of your engine stuff - heads, intake, etc. before you go to a supercharger or turbo.

lol, go with the H/C/I swap and then forge your bottom end and then get the blower.

the prices are a kenne bell sc for $3400 and the trickflow top end for $2200 the kb sc will give 108 hp, the trick flow top end will give a 306 flat top motor as described 360 hp, and yes i plan on hci and the bottom of the motor too, possible new short block with the $$$$ saved on going with the trick flow top end
