H/C. It's just a personal thing with me though. I know there's loads more potential with a F/I setup but there's just something about staying N/A... A well put together N/A max effort car is so much more impressive to me than a F/I car.
I'm not putting either down, they are both great in their own rite. To each their own!
BTW... If you're going to go F/I there are much better ways to go than the STS. A cheap STS kit is not something that I, personally, would jump on...

ditto....not everyone can make a n/a powerhouse. it's much more research and calculation than simply putting in a blower or turbo. this is coming from a person that is building a n/a powerhouse.....but drives a blown gtp.

i personally would just do the heads and cam. way cheaper and youll have so much more fun on the street. with a f/i app ull have to spend a lot of money on other parts to run it safely

this is just an opinion and not based on expierence but for mild street use it seems like n/a would be best. but if your looking for big power like over 500, a supercharger of turbo would be easier and more streetable.

Coming from someone who went the boosted route I'm going to say good choice going H/C. If I had it to do over again it would be cam/nitrous... The stock shortblock is only good for about 500rwhp and there are some max effort H/C setups in that range. Its just not worth the cost and trouble to boost a stock shortblock IMO.
