Default 2014 m7 stingray

Hey y’all currently I have 2” kooks headers and catless xpipe afe cai.. next mod I’m looking into is either cam and head or supercharger. I’m a daily driver all street driven, don’t really need all the power up top as I do down low. Is there any benefits of doing one before the other? Naturally I would want to go straight to a supercharger but then I’d get stuck with upgrading injectors and pumps which would set me back from the cam and head.. vice versa if I go cam and head first I’d get stuck up grading pistons and throttle body.. just need some quick guidance to what should be first. Thank you.

Consider your resources. How long can you have the car out of service? Ask why you are bothering to take a perfectly good (I assume) car and start doing things that may take time and more resources than initially considered to get fully dialed back-in to be the dependable transportation it is now. Don't get me wrong, I was a serious Bonneville racer with 4 different supercharged and turbo'ed cars for over 30-years and appreciate true hi-performance, but sometimes on the street they can be more trouble than they are worth... beyond bench racing. Finally, I'd recommend doing one or the other, and call it good. Which mod might depend on who is going to do the work and their competence with either or both mods. In any event all the best.

I absolutely agree. Like you said the high performance part is which I do love and the more I learn the more I find myself wanting to do more.. however this next mod would be it and just maintain its condition. Thanks for the input!
