should I get a supercharger? I am debating on what power producing mods I should get. I love the way a good cam sounds and am thinking of a TR230 because my buddy has one he is trying to get rid of. I probably wont get heads right away with tr230 but they would be in the future. But I think a supercharger would be great too. I am really at a befuddled state right now. I cannot make up my mind. Obviously money comes into play, and if I go the SC route then it will take a while to get the cash to do it right.
Anyway just looking for some opinions and pros/cons of both.

Well doin a cam or doing a SC are too completely different ball parks in terms of price, as you said.
You could always do a split duration blower cam, it wouldnt lope quite as hard--but then you could always blow it later.
I am currently running the TR224-112 cam, and am now ousting it for the TR 224/227 .563/.569 114LSA to go with a D1SC that will be installed at the end of this month.
In any event, I think doing a cam first is a good way to get some of the small stuff out of the way that I feel are a good idea to do with the blower--Springs, Ti Retainers, Rockers, Ported Oil Pump, Timing Set, ...etc.

You need to do a LOT more research first. That will help your decision making process easier. Nothing anyone says in this thread will give you all the info you need.
