Gotta couple of questions. I got a F1R pro charger from my buddy for a steal. He sold me a 8 rib belt aster bracket and cog bracket set up. I got a blower cam from him also.
First question is can I run the cog and keep my A/C if not I guess I'll run the aster bracket.
My next question is since the cam is 239/259/115+4 which engine should I go with. 402 LS2 or 416 LS3? The car is a 71 Monte Carlo so it's a tank.
My goals are simple. I'm not looking for HP numbers although I've read that the F1R is a max effort unit, I'm looking for a weekend cruiser to have fun with that'll see the track once a month for sure. I probably will have some PP ls3 heads to start until I get the rest of the car drive train finished then I'll go with some aftermarket heads. I'm not in a rush to install the pro charger so should I wait until I get the aftermarket heads to install it or would it be fine without them? Thanks in advance

An LS3 will fare better with that cam than an LS2 with cathedral ports would.
