I have Patriot cnc stage 2.5 heads, ported fast 90 intake with ported 90mm throttle body,Texas speed MS3 cam, LG street headers off road x pipe, stock ti exhaust , 42 lb injectors and a haltech venom. My car makes 477hp and 415 ft/lb tq at the wheels. I think you will make more then I do with your setup. also, this is a 346.

You have the blower cam already, add the blower and you will trap in the 130's and 550+rwhp without the lopey idle.

Where you're sitting, and with your FI restriction, adding a set of Trickflow heads will give you the best chance of reaching your goals. You can also use them again when you go to a stroker motor. Talk to TEA, and get them to help decide how to finish the machine work, and cam selection, if you even need to change cams. I don't know what the specs are for the ECS blower cam, but it may be a great all around performer. Don't get out of the box heads, they won't be optimized for your application. The LS motors love compression, and if you bump it to around 11.25:1, the TQ, and even fuel economy improves. I went with 10.9:1 on my combo, with 92 octane only available here, but could have gone higher, I found after.

I would go with 225's if you wanna do a 402 down the road. I was dead set on the MS3 dor my setup but the tsunami makes better tq down low and peak hp. Im just scared of spraying with .659 intake life.

Hi George, can you explain this to me? I understand with a turbo you would see lag at times but with a supercharger, isn't that instant power? Or is there some rule where he autocrosses that you can't go FI?
