Default mod power help

going crazy trying to figure which is better on my 04z06.Adding 100hp from a head/cam/exhaust or a 150 to200hp from a supercharger all on a stock lower half.I'm thinking 100hp is better for the simple fact of overall traction that already is a issue.Help.

People will or may disagree, but hp numbers mean jack if you have no traction. I love a cammed car, but I also love a SC one too. EG seems to be having great results with his installs. SC do have price tags, but running a 5-6psi car is a bunch of power that a stock bottom can handle.

Best of luck on your choice.

You can see in my sig what I have done and in the future I plan on a supercharger.
