Vette power 3rd gen.

Is better to swap a L98 corvette intake, cam, heads, etc, into a '90 formula 350, or just adding a supercharger without any other modifications?

i dont think i would go to that trouble for stuff that is less than marginally better than what you already have.

a supercharger would be a better idea, and i dont think much of it, either.

The only difference between the f body sytem and the vette one is that the vette has bigger injectors, that's all

And aluminium heads with a different EGR system I think.

Power wise, not much difference. 10hp or so I think. Though the aluminium heads are worth ~60lb weight reduction. I think the cast iron heads are 50lbs each, and the alu heads are about 20lbs.
