If you're going to keep it NA, then don't expect that the gains will be great. I would think that with rockers, headers, a fwi, and HV3 then you should be around 180whp.

Speaking of the HV3, I just happen to have one for sale : https://montecarloforum.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=25766

 

hey thanks dude! i cant veiw your link for some reason though. sorry man

 

oh ya i ment to ask if i buy a super charger kit what are some issues i would run into?

 

It depends on what you mean by a supercharger kit, but I will list the avilable supercharger options for you.

Top swap
Pros: higher compression, more power then an L67, affordable if you do the work yourself
Cons: A LOT of work, you need supporting mods in order to run the stock size pulley (3.8"), not as much power as a turbo

L67 swap
Pros: it's almost a direct swap, no supporting mods needed, lots of people can help you if questions rise, affordable
Cons: Nothing much really, just need some time and space to do the swap, and it won't make as much power as a turbo

Centrifugal Supercharger (CSC)
Pros: Silly easy install, makes more power then a top swap or L67, easier on your tranny
Cons: Rare, limited availability, limited support, more expensive then top swap or L67

Whipple Supercharger
Pros: Excellent power, very cool, rare
Cons: Expensive, lots of work, rare

There are a couple of other options out there, but they're not as common and they kind of relate to a top swap (KenneBell SC, M112, etc).
