what up all, i have a stock block for now making 402rwhp. and i am about to start building it up. just wanted to get some pointers on which way to go. I was thinking of going with chp's 5.1 stroker kit andersons stage 3 ported heads, and some blower cams. my main question is should spend the money on upgrading my s-trim to a t-trim for 18#'s of boost and get the p-51 intake, or should i sell the s-trim and save the money from not buying he intake and go with a kenne bell kit? which would be the faster setup? thanx

If you have the cash, get the extra Cubes. Yes, I would upgrade your blower. After a certain amount of boost, the blower will be out of its efficiency range and all that extra boost will do nothing.

i still wondering if the kenne bell would be a better kit, i mean i could sell the s -trim fo like $1500 and save money by not upgrading to a t-trim and from not buying the p-51 intake, and use that money to get the kenne bell kit. i know it will be the more fun kit to go with for the street, but what about the strip which would perform best the t-trim or the kenne bell assuming both are above 600+rwhp?

the KB would probably perform better because of the torque curve the twin screw blower produces. but both would be fun as hell. either way you go, it's going to be pricey. i suggest that you wait to decide on which s/c to go with until the BBK and C&L lower intakes come out. they may be much cheaper than the P51 and Bullit. atleast i hope so.
