wich do you guys think is a better choice?


rebuilt motor witch had a crane cam installed not sure on size pretty lopy, forged pistons,1.6 roller rockers, mac shorty headers, mac off road h pipe, mac dumps, ported stock heads, cold air intake and 65mm tb, maf conversion with a 24# calibrated maf sensor, blue top 24lb injectors,255lph pump, trick flow street heat intake, under drive pulleys, mark 5 fan

The question is i want some decent power out of the car but doesn't have to be to fast. Before i start with the exterior of the car and was wondering if it would be a smarter move to do new heads or just go with a supercharger? I most likely be more of a street car and strip occasionally just curious on what you guys thought? Thanks

If you do a supercharger more than likely you'll end up doing new heads or headwork on top of it so I'd go with new heads first then save for the blower.

You put a cam in that you do not know the specs on and you are worried about making horsepower? The first thing you need to do is find the cam specs and if you can't find them you need to take the cam out. I'm assuming since you don't know what cam is in it that you don't have the correct valve springs either. Did you bother to check for coil bind or valve to piston clearance? This stuff is not like Mr. Potato head, you can't just put whatever part you want on.

Don't know but you better know your G.D. cam spec before you post again. You can get killed on here for not knowing that kind of shit.

Would you put a cam in your engine without knowing the specs?

You never said "you did not install the cam it was all ready done by the previous owner". You said "allready had the cam installed" which to most people sounds like you had a cam and had it installed by someone.

Tuff guys? Why is that because I posted factual information and explained bluntly that you can't just throw parts together and expect them to work? Sorry pal, if you are looking for everyone to praise your set up even if they have to lie to do it, just to make you happy....you've come to the wrong site. My post was blunt and to the point and was intended to make you use that thing on top of your shoulders. Its your car, do what you want. Good luck.





Wow! That thing is great, it will make 400hp and be fly like a G6. Are you happy now?

just to let you know I was joking, give it some time and you will read the same posts from new guys and they catch the same shit as you did.
