I have driven NA and the power is good but I miss the rush that comes from a power adder. My cheapest route back would be nitrous but I want to try something different and more reliable, but most of all be on tap all the time. I currently have 11.0 compression 408 with 235 239 110lsa cam prob close to 500 HP. I would like to have 700rwhp. I know that compression is not ideal but if needed the pistons are 12cc dished and by trading my patriot 64cc ls6 heads for some 72cc heads I will have 10.0 compression. I wanted turbo for the cool sound but after reading about the tvs it may be better for me so that I can keep my current exhuast and sell the FAST intake to pay for larger injectors. I already have dual fuel pumps and truck is just begging for more power. I have $4k pretty liquid and can get $2k in a few months so what should I get?

If i were you, sell the heads, buy some 317s with decent springs and valve job... Sell the cam and get something smaller (contact Stoick48
), get a TVS2300.... All that should pucker your butthole pretty good! Plus you can always up the boost or upgrade the heads later.

If you drive the truck around much I'd look into a TVS2300 and spray a 150 shot on it. If you set the blower up for around 12psi where it seems to be at it's best you should be able to pull off 600-650RWHP and spray a 150 shot at it to get to 800RWHP. All of that with off idle boost allowing you to run a 2800-3200 stall and still launch like an animal. 10.5:1-11:1 compression is where you'll want to run the compression for best power. It may be a good time to go to L92 heads. If most of your use for the truck is playing and racing I'd no doubt go with a turbo and a big one at that. Something around 88mm or bigger. That would get you into the 10's and probably even on pump gas.
