Default at a crossroad....

I’m at a crossroad....

LS2 with TSP 228/232 112 LSA

FAST 102/NW 102

Kooks 1 3/4 LT

I’m at 440 HP on Mustang dyno which didn’t include the NW 102 at time of last dyno.

Question is what next....should I have the heads ported or add a supercharger??

Can I add a supercharger with that cam and have good results?

That cam would work pretty well with an A&A kit (or any centrifugal supercharger). Ported heads will probably land you around 25-30rwhp but we can do better with boost.

Get the heads and intake manifold ported. 243 heads pick up quite a bit with a good cnc program.

My Ls2 made 495 rwhp on a dyno jet with 243s, fast and nw102. they're all ported but the answer is yes. my dyno thread is in my post history if you want to see the details.

I’m leaning towards TSP porting my 243s. Any suggestions on who to have port the FAST and NW 102?
