You can get a new Vortech supercharger kit that produces 5psi of boost for 1999$. only one problem: get rid of that carb and find a used EFI intake. you will gain 30% increase in power and torque.

keep it carbed, just get a new one (demon) and get it tuned right. longtubes w/ o/r x-pipe, TFS twisted wedge heads (cheaper than afr 165 and flow better) with roller rockers, and a good intake manifold and it should be fast!!! <IMG src=smileys/smiley14.gif border="0">also 3.73s and if there is money left NOS. with that setup my money is on you!!

too many problems and money to convert to fuel injection and its not worth it. You can make just the same or more power with a carbd 302. <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"></P>

To T5superduty:
Who are you calling a lier?
I said you will get 30% gain with the supercharger not only the EFI intake<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley7.gif border="0">
What the heck is wrong with you man?

t5 is talking out his *** tonight. tomorrow he'll be better.

It came from the factory efi, but it's already been converted to carb. So leave it carb.

Fuel injection will ultimately create more power, but you've got to spend a lot of time and energy tuning it.

Carbs are way cheaper and easier to tune for WOT power.
