YEP.

What about using the methanol injection kit that STS sells?

BTW, why are you planning on buying expensive heads?? Ive always heard that heads do very little on FI setups. A pair of 6.0 heads will drop compression, but why do that to run only 6-7#??
I'd scrap the heads and use the money from the Magnacharger and heads to get a Turbo . Now that seems to be where the money is!!

Also remember that with a supercharger, it takes HP to drive, and when you run really low boost, you barely make up for that.

What about using the meth injection kit?

Crap, now I'm stuck in the middle again! Supercharger or built LS1?

Well if I had it to do over I would have built a forged 6.0 and run nitrous then eventually a Turbo.
A 5.7 with a nice cam, bigger converter, and a little gas or a turbo is the ultimate setup IMO.
Meth will cool things, BUT you still would have spent a decent amount on an old out of date blower that WONT have the ability to give you what you will ultimately want... MORE POWER.
BTW if you are planning on lower boost, you dont need all that ARP hardware either.
What do you have now as far as parts for the new buildup??

I think you should do yourself a favor and put that m90 on ebay. That way you won't look at that as an option. The power you're looking for, needs a bigger blower.
