Default setup for me?

I have 2000 camaro z28 with long tube headers, true duals, 3:73's, slp 85mm mass air fow sensor, and a FTP lid. Just want to hear what you guys think are some good ideas for me, heads/cams, forced induction, whatever you guys got for me? I want to keep this car on the streets though so i can still do some cruising in it. So (streetable) I guess that what you all call it lol. thanks guys.

that kind of power is either spray, or boost.
Personaly i would boost it. simple enought to install, especially with kits these days. The blower can grow with your motor, and you can go back to stock easy to sell it.

What are some good turbo kits/supercharger kits that are reliable and durable, putting out that power? I've looked at prochargers and was a Gen-TTR turbo kit, but dont know much about them. Is there a twin-screw supercharger for the ls1? I cant seem to find any.

there isnt a root style blower for the gen 3 heads. sorry wish there was. Prochargers are good. if you go a little above your price range Turbo Technologies Inc kits are phenominal and will make tons of power.

you would need bigger injectors and fuel pump, and most likley clutch adn trans upgrade. but those are with any set up trying to make that power

go to the boost section and contact some sponsors.I like the turbo route ,but I feel a procharger is a easier install.
