Default How much and i leaving out by using a TFS245 head and sheetmetal intake vs Ls7

Im running the TFS 245 heads im looking to have a sheetmetal intake made for it. How much power will i be leaving behind VS buying a Ls7 head and having a sheetmetal intake made for that ?

On a supercharger build
On a turbo build
On just running the car NA

Im trying to figure out where im should spend my money.

Not sure on who's sheet metal intake, but a ls7 intake will take u there. Or a l92,ls1 vic jr with a nice size elbow and T body. The good thing is your goal is not un common lol. Id say focus on the motor and what typ of force induction you plan to go with.

a 245 head and properly built intake will easily make 1500+ turbocharged.Are you leaving some on the table-absolutely,but there is always a compromise.

The only thing that a sheetmetal intake will do is allow you to pull harder up top. Usually comes with a penalty down low. Also, your valvetrain, and turbo have to have more left in them or they too will have to be changed.
