you can make 600 rwhp with a blower for $6,000 and take it off when you're done with the car.
Any concern with the added weight and heat from a blower?

If the car is going to be a road course track rat then NA is the way, I agree. But for street and drags.....boost!

Higgs=spot on (like usual). Blown road-course car=heat. Meth could/would be an answer for control temps, but not ideal. Turbo=different story.
Had I known (and could verify) the KaTech n/a option, would have pursued that route.

Yeah the katech stage 2 sounds like the best thing for me. As long as the $8.6k includes labor. I gotta call them up.

Vehicle package prices include parts, labor and tuning.

Im looking for good shops for a cam install in the AZ, NM and west side of TX, anyone have any recommendations? I live in El Paso, TX and going to Dallas or Houston is a 10 hr drive. Im am at 430 rwhp with ARH mid with high flow cats and a tune so I have been told that I can get to 500 - 510 rwhp with just an added cam, sound right?

Stage 1
510Hp*
486lb-ft*
Halltech Stinger-R intake system
Chassis dyno calibration
Serialized plaque
Price: $1,418
So an intake and a tune gets you to 510HP? This has to be crank HP, and not wheel, and even at that.... I dunno...

So a drop in filter for $100 and a tune for $500 should get us to 500 hp.

Their numbers are with long tubes installed.

That would make alot more sense. Im at 430 rwhp with ARH mids and a tune which is about 500 at the crank or so.

Even if it means driving a couple of hours more, go with a quality shop, like LGMotorsports in Dallas.

Cool i'll check that out
I would skip the 2015 & 2016 LT4 supercharger and go only with the 2017 LT4 blower, as it has the improved lid and intercooler bricks.

Callaway has take off LT4 superchargers(they install their own design 2.3L supercharger on their conversions).

Give them a call on availability and price.
