Ok, so here is the deal. This summer I would like to do a h/c/i combo. My current mods are in the sig below. Long run I want to get a sc making about 450 horses. I was planning on getting trick flow street heat intake, afr 165 heads and a e303 cam. Will these parts support the flow I am going to need with a supercharger making 450hp later down the road? Also I should see a noticable difference now, right? If not I am open to suggestions. Also, are there any other things that I am going to need or should upgrade while I am doing this. I am trying to figure out if I will have the extra cash to do all of it this summer. Thanks in advance.

Also i forgot to add, i have seen some posts saying that the trick flow heads are actually a better head then the afr. If this is the case then how would the cam in the trick flow street heat combo hold up with a supercharger. anyone running this combo? I thought i remember reading that some people have had trouble with the fit of the trick flow heads? Is this true as well.

Thanks

If it were me, I'd get the 165s, Street Heat, and send Comp Cams an email to see which cam they'd reccomend.

So you think that the heads and intake will support 450 hp but would recommend getting a comp cam? Is it possible to get a cam that will yeild a good improvment in power na but still work well with a supercharger?

With a blower that horsepower is reachable. Comp Cams are THE leaders in cams. That cam will probably be fine N/A.

I still need some advice as to what else I should upgrade. Should i go with new rockers, should they be roller rockers, 1.6 or 1.7? I guess i will need some new fuel injectors, anything else?

if your going all out, maybe consider buying the TF track heat manifold with some TW heads and a comp cam to match up your combo, AFR's would work too

bigger injectors, pump, TB, MAF, probally a good idea to get a ignition setup when you supercharge it too
