Thanks man by any chance will the ls3 best performance come from supercharged down the road or nitrous . I'm not really going to be using it for racing maybe couple freeway pulls . I'm getting the ls3 for about 4500 with 26k miles on it

Is that a real question? SC or nitrous? put on the blower, 24/7 power compared to just whenever you hit it with a shot.

as said before if you can afford the ls3 go with that.... a bolton ls3 will make about the same hp as most h/c ls1's and have more torque. Mod for mod the ls3 will basically always be better. Btw from what i have heard doing the fast intake on a ls3 is kind of a waste most people see little to no gain.
