ported eaton (supercharger), e-fans, dual pass heat exchanger... Are you looking to get good track times or just make more power? You should definetly be making more power than that. 357 is real low. I would try to get a local tuner to dyno tune you if you have not already.

I want make more power to have better track times. I thought 357 was low also i know its just numbers and the track will give me my true horse power. what stage of porting? they offer different ones if i looked correctly. what is your thoughts on using the bottle? i was looking into stage 2 cams is it worth it?

if i were you, i'd get rid of the 8lb lower, its to much for the stock blower. Get a stage 3 or 4 port, spin with with a 6lb lower, get some long tubes. If you want better track times, get some traction bars, adjustable shocks, and a high stall converter

ya, i had a circle D 2400. daily driving it was barely noticable, but at the track, or just launching hard on the street brought a lot of fun

how tall?

whatever fits your wheels, he didnt say slicks. If you are going to run slicks get some 28" tall slicks. They are pretty close to stock height. Here is my truck with the 28" slicks on the back

if you run slicks or DR's at the track, get one of these

Get a new tune, from a reputable tuner like Amazon, or one of the other well known tuners. A dyno tune is the best way to go. Have you checked your A/F ratio with your current tune?

Ported heads, cams, and long tubes should all give you more power along with a dyno tune. Also, get a VB from a reputable shop for the trans too, you wont be dissappointed..

I live in cheyenne wyoming and no place around here that does any performance mods or tunning. My A/F is like 12.1 12.5 last time i was full throttle. who do you recommend for a vb?

Really what is your A/F ratio?

mine was 11.3, but i don't have anything with with a gas motor that goes fast, just my diesel now.

But as stated anything from 11.3-11.8 is ok on a stock motor, you can run a little higher with built. when it starts to get that high you run a huge chance of detonation and blowing the motor sky high
