what do you plan on using the car for? dd or weekend toy?

honestly a good h/c/i is better than a power adder b/c the power is always there. cost is usually close to the same and with that kind of mileage, while it is not high the motor could use some tlc and a new top end is a great start.

i already have a new top n paint job. cosmeticly the car is mint juss needs sum more power, it is a weekend toy so what u guys think???

I still vote H/C/I, you can always slap a blower on later and the H/C/I will dramatically increase the hp your blower will make.

thank you, solid advice...any other opinions, the trickflow kit seems to get around 300-315 hp at the wheels what will 10 lbs of boost get me???

boost will probably get you close to 300 on the stock heads so, like others stated you should probably go h/c/i first then next put the blower on

Why just get one....lol BOTH!!!

I went HCI first then blower. You will want a new top end with your blower. A blower by itself is an easier install but if you have a HCI first you will be familiar with your engine and it will like the boost better. I dont think you will be satisifed with a blower on a stock engine. Blowers on stock engine tend to pop head gaskets is you run too much boost and boost is VERY addictive. Y ou will always want more boost and when you pop a head gasket you have to take your heads off anways soooo why not go ahead and prep the motor first..

I went supercharger first, and then upgraded practically every component under the hood to work with it. Thinking back I would prob go with the HCI now..

It's rec to update the fuel pump, injectors, MAF, Ignition system, throttle body, head studs, etc with the supercharger setup.. Gets very expensive and prior to my new heads and cam, I wasn't all that impressed with the horsepower.

A new Head gasket should come standard with the supercharger kit.. Mine lasted about a month...(with tune)

WEll I put the felpro 1101 on mine about 2 years ago when I put the afr heads on my 302 and they holding with 15+ pounds of boost and holding strong but a stock head gasket wont last long with even a small amount of boost

I'd go with a nice HCI and keep your plans open to go with boost later.
