Default forced induction or NA

i have a 2002 z28 and i'm trying to decide if i should go NA or if i should just go for the shupercharger. i would love to have just all engine but i kno that it would be expensive to change all those things. i'm looking at the procharger with the intercooler to up my horses as well. hopefully everyone on this forum could help me with this decision. thanks for all the help

How much money do you want to spend and what kind of HP #s are you looking for, and how often will you be driving the car.

well my car is an everyday driver so i am beginning to think that i should just NA it. money really isnt the issue i can always get that but as far as hp is concerned i would just like to get anywhere from 350 to 400 to the ground.

If you're only looking for 350-400rwhp, cam only should get you there.
You will need most or all bolt-ons also. It will be a lot cheaper than FI as well.

you can get 350-400 w/o FI, plus the engine bay looks cleaner

my opinion is cam it, then add flip of a switch power, N2O

you can get 350 to the ground with just bolt-ons, ie..headers, exhaust, intake, throttle body, lid, etc...you can get 400rwhp with a small cam like the tr224 (and all bolt-ons) and still retain like stock driveabilty...350-400 is not that radical of a setup...the smallest procharger they make for a ls1 should exceed 400hp
