I was curious what the dyno numbers were with the stock cam (doesnt matter what else is stock or not) and a supercharger.
I am debating on getting a vortech to install along with AFR 165's and my ported cobra intake. I was thinking about leaving the stock cam for now because I have heard it is not that bad of a blower cam.
Please post numbers of your set-ups with a blower and using the stock cam.

It's really not that bad of a cam for forced induction at all. Again, you can make enough power to split the block with the blower, and with the help of the heads and intake it should be easy to reach 500.

Dan I can see you easily hitting low 400's with stock pulleys and tuning. Just keep in mind if you run an fmu and 24# injectors you'll be seeing 100+ psi fuel pressure. I'm pretty sure you run stock injectors, so if you go blower route, buy some 42's or 50's and sh it can the fmu.

Yea I plan on buying a Pro-M and larger injectors for the combo. I figure that I should be making low 400's with the heads/intake stock cam with a good and safe tune.
Any real life numbers?

A friend of mine built a car for Real Street. A4 block with unported TW heads and a Holley intake and a Novi 2000 running 24 lbs of boost with the stock cam in a 310 CI motor. It made 620 RWHP.

I think with an S-Trim and your combo you could easily see 450 RWHP with a safe tune. I would not go anymore than that with the stock block.

42 lb. injectors and Pro-M 80 mm with no FMU should work just fine.

Good. I figure if I stick with the stock cam I can save some money and make good power without getting into another short block. Anything over 400 less than 450 I would like to make and I think that I could do it with a good tune. Now I need to figure out my job situation which is looking good at this point to drop the bills on the mods.
So 400+ is attainable?
