looking for a vortech v3 or something similar, paxton, power dyne.... got a built top end and took it to the track, needless to say im looking for a little more power. let me know what you have!
 
Not sure if your stuck with the supercharger idea, but I know a few people here will tell you to try an on3 turbo kit (me being one of them). Best bang for your buck hands down
 
yeah that is actually a good kit as well for the price... all i would have to do is figure out my exhaust situation if i went the turbo route

if i do any of these things though im definitely going to start stripping the car down interior wise as well as suspension mods that i need for the track
 
Not much to figure out with the exhaust, they have a bolt in Y-pipe that will attach to your existing 'cat back'. Although I would go the cheap ass route and run a single 3" to a straight thru muffler to a dump. Cheap, easy and effective
 
really a power adder is all im missing in my set up. i have all the right fuel upgrades and enough room for more air with the new heads cam and intake... and im running good compression for it, closer to stock about 9.5/1

EDIT: nothings done to my bottom end though, so im not looking for TOO much boost. 6psi is what i would be comfortable with, but with the 5.0's that makes all the difference

Dont be skerred. My old 5.0 saw 16lbs at one point, mostly on 12lbs and it made 522rwhp on the dyno at that level. Only thing that happened after 3 years was a popped head gasket.

WOW what compression were you up to running that much boost? and did you have a stock bottom end as well?

Stock bottom end. Had H/C/I. 64cc heads so compression ratio was stock. You could run 10lbs and not worry. Mine was on the edge of safe, but was tuned by lidio so it was very conservative. 10.8:1 at wot. 18 degrees of timing. I tore the motor down a few weeks ago to get ready for my new build and everything still looked great other then cyl 4 headgasket blew between the water jacket so it was pressurizing my coolat system.
