Head and cam package or a blower

I have been playing with the head and cam package thing, but I am seeing impressive numbers on the blower. What do you guys think?

Re: Head and cam package or a blower

You'll get differing opinions, but I definitely prefer a nice heads/cam package. I'm leary of tossing boost on a stock bottom-end. I also like to have my power all of the time. Heat soak can kill some power with forced induction. If I were to take the blown route, I'd have to go with a TT setup. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> A forged bottom-end, heads/cam, and some boost has crossed my mind more than once. Why choose one when you could have both? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Head and cam package or a blower

I am also considering this, however my project is going in a 4500 lb. truck. Ported heads, small cam, and a blower, hopefully 420rwhp and around 420rwtq. I am also leary of the stock bottom end, besides forged pistons. I am also thinking maybe different rods and hope the crank holds. Let me know what you decide.
