Default need advice

I have a 02 ss with a ls6 ported heads 230/226 cam. 112 lsa, 591 lift, hooker long tubes, 85mm tb, ls6 intake, 150 shot from nx, fjo mini controller window switch. 12 bolt moser 4:10's. sub frame connectors...the car dynoed right at 400 hp on motor and 523 on nitrous....I want to get rid of the nitrous and would like to go forced air induction but don't know much at all about it, so I need your input. What would you guys do if you had this set up? my goal right now is 550 to 600 hp some guys told me to get a procharger over turbo....Honestly I want to go forced air because I love to hear them scream!

How do I find out if I still have stock compression? would the porting on the heads change that?

I'm a bit confused on what to do from were Im at, as you can see! please let me know what you guys think, I really don't want to be guinea pig on this one.......

You could make your goals with both turbo or SC. Its going to come down to personal preference. Both have there pros and cons. Your cam not not be the best for a FI and your gears are a little high to make the best use out of a turbo. But other then that you should be good to go.

thanks! I was leaning more towards supercharged, alot of guys that I have talked to so far say turbos is high maintenance and arent as reliable as a supercharger.......Thanks for your input

I would disagree with that. Both are going to be some what high maintenance but i would not say any one is greater then the other.
