I know there were some heated arguments in this thread but I appreciate the education, experience, and input that everyone has provided. I'm sure there are a few of us at least lurking in the background learning.
One question for all of you about the Calloway supercharger- is it worth the money because of the warranty and resilience of their product? Has anyone heard of their superchargers failing? Given the recent price reduction, it's a viable option for some not wanting to wait for the Z06 but get warranty-backed performance. Thanks.

One of the most popular questions we get in the performance shop business is, "Should I go heads/cam, or should I go boost?". And it's always a great debate! With boost it's easy to make a bigger number on the dyno, but will it perform better? I always tell people you need about 100 HP more on boost than an all motor car. And this video basically proves that to be right! It's a dead even race, but my 542 rwhp heads/cam in the left lane vs. Jeff Tomi's (Tech369) 600 rwhp in the right lane sure shows you what a great comparison it can be. Never under-estimate all motor power! We're in the ordering parts stages of building a 460 ci shortblock for my car. Will be a couple months before it's done, but it should be pretty fun/interesting! Although let me say this, even though this is a great comparison of heads/cam vs. supercharged... there's no comparison to having BOTH lol just throwing that out there :P lol Until next time, enjoy the video.
