Which setup should be faster
Hey everyone have a 2000 c5 and debating on which route to go? Already have a yank ss3600, tires and full bolt ons. I am either going to get a decent sized cam, and spray 100 shot or procharge it on about 8 psi/500hp. Which set up would be faster in the 1/8th mile on average?
I keep reading how people say the supercharger route is more for highway pulls but I am not sure. I dont want to be disappointed with which I chose and all I race is the 1/8th mile

stock 3.15s right now unforunately. I spoke to someone at Brian Tooleys and a local builder and they said it would work fine with the yank and that cam but I am weary

I figure since I wont be launching at low rpms the gears shouldn't hurt me too bad on the track. Drive-ability doesn't matter to me as I never drive it lol

My only worry is that it might be a bit lazy down low with that gear. If you don't care about drivability so much and want mainly just top end power at the expense of low and midrange, then this would be a solid choice

Well it may not be faster at the track just so you know. You'll never really know of course. All you can do of course is compare similar setups to others with a smaller cam

Honestly I'm thinking something more along the lines of a Tick SNS stage 2 or something similar. If you were doing gears and/or heads I'd be looking more towards the BTR 4, but in your case you're not going that route. I'd ask a few more cam experts like Martin at Tick and see what they think
