Default Best FI choice for a MS4 cam setup

I was wondering what the best route to go is for the cam setup I have. I have flowtech long tube headers, SLP Lid and K&N filter with the MS4 and mild ported heads. Car dynoed at 393 hp and 377 fl lbs. I only want one of the 4 pound kits, STS or Powerdyne, I can't decide on turbo or supercharger and I was hoping someone could give me ideas.

Thanks in advance,
Craig

If you're dropping $3k+ on forced induction, then spending another couple hundred bucks on a cam shouldn't be of any concern. Besides, I don't think anyone on here who is serious about forced induction will recommend either the Powerdyne OR the STS.

powerdyne is only good for 4lbs of boost and min. gains. then again its only 1500 usually for a full kit.

that size cam and will prolly eat up some that gain too.

why not just go n2o.

out of those two options i think the sts would be the better.

STS if those are the choices, you can always trade cams later when the boost bug bites and start turning it up! If you are going to buy it new I would go ahead and upgrade to the 67mm turbo or if you get it through TRT the 70mm.
