I've always heard good results from the TFS kit. Think about it this way. Go ahead and open the engine up H/C/I wise now, and its going to perform so much better if you add a supercharger later down the road

Getting a s/c with a stock h/c/i combo is kind of a waste, as you will not see max benefit from the s/c. Trick Flow's kit looks very nice. 350/370 is of coarse at the flywheel, which should still net you decent rwhp.

Well, I asked this very question a while back when I was considering this kit myself. And most people, believe it or not were saying go boost first. Since it's easier to add heads, cam, intake later and note the differences as you add them.

But, I would probably agree with others here. Go with this kit first if you can wait a while for the blower. But, if it's bang for the buck your wanting, the blower will definately give you more hp potential.

Umm yea, those people were right. So why dont you just put some stock e7's on for now, and I will test your heads out for you

j/k of coarse

I guess it is a matter of opinion. In my opinion if you plan to do both, then build up na first, the go power adder. If you only have money for one, the go with the better hp/$

Not to mention with a n/a car there is alot less chance of blowing off intake pipes, breaking s/c belts risght and left and so forth.

Well, that's what I meant by my post. If he plans on doing both, I think it would be better to build the n/a combo first. But, if he doesn't plan on both, then the blower woul be better for hp potential.
