Exclamation Supercharged and engine

I am looking to make some serious power out of my ls1. I figure you guys could help me out. I want to take my engine apart and make it so it can handle as much power as possible and put a supercharger on it. What do i need to get the job done? Also do you think i should sleeve the engine? I have about 10-15grand and want as much hp as possible. I want to build a great engine and supercharge it for street use. Just seeing what you guys recommend.

You should look at spending closer to 20 to do it right and build the drivetrain and chassis to hold the power.

what the intended use for the motor?? if its just street and strip then you can make BIGH power on the stock block and crank (saving some money). also i have head of guys running stock rods, but i wouldn't! if you running boost you can get away with worked stock heads or get a set of worked truck heads. also on a stock ci motor out the box afr 205's have been proved to work very well.

as said above try and do as much s you can yourself. if you cant then get as much free help as you can! you would be supprised what throwing someone a few cans of beer can do to their willingness to help you out!

the probelm with power is it costs money, and the more you want the moe it costs! also you have to factor that your going to get through stuff faster the more power you run.

do as much reserch as you can!!! that way your not going in blind. also find a local shop that can do any work you dont think you will be able to do. get tlaking to them and ask loads of questions. you need to trust them.

apart form that have fun.

thanks Chris.
