Blower or Top motor rebuild? Hey guys gotta NewB here... I have a 99 Z28 M6 with just a lid, maf, kooks lt, oryp, qtp cutout and gmmg. It's time for me to stop with the boltons and get some real power 
My car has 90,000 miles on it though so would it be safer to get a good complete heads/cam package (from Norris here in Cntrl Fla of course) or get a power adder? I was thinking the heads/cam then getting a stronger rearend (w/ probably 3.73s), stronger driveshaft, and suspension parts then getting blown. Tell me what you guys think I should do first.

well, it will be about the same to do H/C and a rear end, or just a S/C. either way you go, you'll need to do suspension mods to help lay that power to the ground. if you can afford to do both, do the S/C first, then heads/cam and rear end. that way you can tailor the heads/cam to the s/c and not worry about losing anything in the short run. thats my opinion anyhow. FI is fun no matter what.

With 90 k if you get new heads you"ll be replacing some well worn parts same with the cam swap, if you go blower you are pushing these older parts harder.With a lot more power the rearend is just a matter of time.PS how did you come up with that un??
