What would be better addding a supercharger or getting new heads, camshaft, 1.6rr, and complete porting of intake?

I will have to pay to have it installed as I am not nearly comfortable doing this kind of work.

I figured the engine work with parts would run me around $2,700 and net me around 75-80hp.

The supercharger would be at least $2,500 plus install, how much would install be? What do you think it will give me, 125hp?

What route do you think would be better? If the supercharger is the better bang for the buck, is it not as safe, more likely to break down etc...

Thanks for any help!

 

Also, would my stock WS6 rear end be able to handle either? I wish I could get both, that would be awesome, but alot of money.

 

Do a serach on the Power Adders board for supercharger vs 383 and you will find alot of info. I went with 383 with forged internals so I'll be adding a SC later.......

 

I'll agree with GTA, I've got a friend that went and spent the money and built a 383 stroker, VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE, it had so much torque that he twisted the chassis. He fixed the chassis and put a vortec powerplant on his 79 camaro. ran a smooth 160 mph, and ran mid/high 7's on the track 1/4 mile... I was impressed as hell.

 

High 7's ?

LOL

 

Do you plan on burning your own chips? Or having someone else tune the computer for you? If not I'd suggest the SC because I think that a good one comes with a FMU to adjust the fuel curves for you.

Also, your stock rear end will hold up just fine. Don't worry about it.
