Supercharger or HCI

both


but do the supercharger first

i would say do the blower first but i agree change valve springs too , boost is hard on them

NA or Blower

That Q has been asked like 1000 times before

You want low 12's as a goal to shoot for

I'm gonna guess you are talking OEM shortblock

NA First

Yes ... A well planned h/c/i with ALL the supporting stuff can do it

but

You gotta be V E R Y good with your 1/4 mile driving skills
You gotta be able to 60 foot well below the 2 mark (sticky tires)

Summing up ... You gotta drive it like you stole
and
You gotta not be aftaid if you are gonna break it

Now ... Blower

Since you got that OEM block you wanna be careful about trying to
go both h/c/i AND blower cause you'll have no prob going to and beyond
block splitting power

If I was gonna go blower on a street car and oem block ........
I'd focus more on the blower and less on the na hot rod parts

Also ... running a blower on the street is gonna require a bit more
from its owner than running a na combo with gas quality, heat issues,
and the like.

Another thing ... buying a kit is just the start
You need upgraded inj's, meter, ignition, tune, and more

Of course ... either setup will exceed your t5 limits

Just trying to expand things to ... as they say ... the big picture

You probably wont get low 12's w/ just boost and no other up grades. I was running 12.7 with 8 PSI stock heads/cam Cobra intake exhaust

Go with the blower. Learn from my experience, it's so much easier, and cheaper. I pulled consistent 1.68 short times with my Steeda suspension. It's more than adequate for low 12s. Probably not the most ideal, but definately better than stock.

I am not sure it is cheaper or easier.. . Mine has become a money pit trying to get the supercharger to work with other componets.. My dad went HCI route and has half the work, half the problems..

It didn't help that my s/c bearings went out at about 1000 miles..
