H/C Setup or Boost????? Ok i cant decide what to do, i have a chance to get a STS kit cheap but i also wouldnt mind a nice H/C setup, i need some opinions so i can decide. thanks
H/C. It's just a personal thing with me though. I know there's loads more potential with a F/I setup but there's just something about staying N/A... A well put together N/A max effort car is so much more impressive to me than a F/I car.
I'm not putting either down, they are both great in their own rite. To each their own!
BTW... If you're going to go F/I there are much better ways to go than the STS. A cheap STS kit is not something that I, personally, would jump on...

ditto....not everyone can make a n/a powerhouse. it's much more research and calculation than simply putting in a blower or turbo. this is coming from a person that is building a n/a powerhouse.....but drives a blown gtp.
this is just an opinion and not based on expierence but for mild street use it seems like n/a would be best. but if your looking for big power like over 500, a supercharger of turbo would be easier and more streetable.

right on, H/C it is, thanks for all your input, what whould yall suggest that get so i can make over 450whp, car is not daily driven, street manners arent an issue, he nastier sounding the better, been lookin at some of the options from Texas Speed. Any help would be great
Coming from someone who went the boosted route I'm going to say good choice going H/C. If I had it to do over again it would be cam/nitrous... The stock shortblock is only good for about 500rwhp and there are some max effort H/C setups in that range. Its just not worth the cost and trouble to boost a stock shortblock IMO.
