If I used this setup, would I be hitting my 400hp goal?

Trick Flow Twisted Wedge Heads 61cc with 1.6 rocker arms, Trick Flow Cam Stage 1, Trick Flow Upper/Lower Intake Manifold, CAI, 75mm throttle body, 80mm mass air flow sensor, BBK 1 5/8" headers, cat back exhaust, 30# injectors, underdrive pulleys, computer chip, msd 6al ignition, 3.73 gears.....and last but not least a supercharger 8-10lbs boost. Not sure what brand name I'd go for...lookin at Vortech or Powerdyne. Please help, any input would be greatly appreciated.

Rear wheel, or flywheel? H/C/I with supporting mods plus boost should definitely set you at your goal... However, why the supercharger? 300whp n/a would be good for 12's normally depending on driving, and if you really want that extra ~100, why not just spray it a bit? Less money than the s/c, at first, unless you start refilling constantly. There's multiple people on here running a mild h/c/i with a Vortech hitting OVER 400 at the wheels. It wouldn't be a bad setup, that's for sure!

go with an S-trim and a better cam if possible. im assuming your wanting to get the TFS top end kit, i almost went that route myself, but there are better combos to be made for the same money. you'll want 42lb injectors, the 6al box is fine ( i have one also) but youll want to upgrade the plug wires, Coil, and possibly dist. for the best results.


is this all going on a stock bottom end? whats the mileage?

do you think my cam would be able to support a supercharger, the range is 2,000-5,5000. 221/225 @ 50inch?? i still want this to be street legal and to make 400rwhp. which brand supercharger would best fit my setup? and tanner what combo is better for a cheaper price??

actually that cam will do just fine if you are going to supercharge the motor. the reason why i say that is that the cam has low end and it wont need to turn a lot of rpms to build decent power to start out with. yes there are better cams, but if you already have that, i would just stick with it. some people go too extreme on a cam and it actually stumbles a little bit. i have the stage 1 cam in my setup and i have no complaints.

I pretty mutch have your same combo, same heads intake, rockers. Im runnign 42lbs injectors 80mm C&L E303 cam with a V2 SQ Vorthec Blower. It was tuned using a diablo sport chip at 442 RWHP and 395 TQ. I went with 225 in tank fuel pump. Im actually moving on to other things so i will be removing the blower to sell it and get some money back for my other projects.

I would agree with the other members saying you may want to choose an alternate cam. You should first decide what blower you're going to use, then get a cam based on your entire combo including trans and rear gear.

I am running tfs heads/ intake and f303 on a 302. With 7 #s from my Hellion heat kit it made 500hp/560FT# at the wheels. Turbo is my suggestion. My buddy just got his na car tuned. Its is a trick flow top end stage1 cam on a 306 with TF pistons 10:1 ish compression, headers, exhaust, 75mm tb..... it made 320hp/340ft# at the wheels. Runs great awsome car and cost alot less to build than a charged car. Will live alot longer too.
