Default LS6 Head and Cam and Vortech V9 Kit?

I have already purchased the GMPP LS1 to LS6 Conversion Kit! I was also thinking about adding a Vortech V9 Supercharger Kit!! Would the two be a good combination??? How much rwhp could i expect and wat kind of 1/4 mile times can i expect?? Also would the car run better with the factory 3.23 gears or with some 3.73s??

That head and cam combination is going to raise your compression some too; which is not necesarily a good thing with supercharged motors. A set of 6.0 heads and a nice split duration cam would be a much better combination for the setup that you want. Also, stay away from 373s and 410s as you would run out a gear really fast in a supercharged car. As for vortec they make a great kit, but know what you are getting and you should be fine. Best of luck on your setup.
