Optimizing Current Supercharger Performance with Different Cam, Heads, Other?

IMO keep the heads and cam do exhaust. Fuel for E85 if possible then pulley.

Here's another thought I had on-the-fly.... As I mentioned, I have a Volant CAI with the Volant snorkel, feeding through the stock MAF to the Magnuson air tube and a NW 90mm TB...again, the Radix j-tube is untouched. I was thinking about swapping in a Banks Duramax Ram Air box, modifying the Banks 4" intake tube (heat with a PVC pipe heater blanket and bend to shape) for proper alignment with the Radix j-tube and putting a getting a 100mm MAF in between. Could get the j-tube ported and modified for a 102mm TB as well. Doing the math in my head, that's probably around $1400-1500 with the TB & MAF purchase...sounds great except the $$$, I think that one won't be getting past the mental drawing board.

A couple problems.
First your ECL is 115
Second, your VE is 100, not 1. Also, at 10 psi I would have said 165 (10 psi is about 65% of atmospheric pressure on top of an atmosphere... confusing. whatever... just do it.)
The diameter I get is 1.92" with a length of about 40".

Fortunately Santa knows that I've been good this year, and he's working on a very nice set!

I really appreciate you guys' input...the exercise is educational and body checks assumptions that I tend to leap to when left to my own devises. After I get the 4L80e in, I think it would be very interesting to do a new baseline dyno then upgrade the exhaust and tune it on the dyno to see what was changed (gains/losses) in the HP & TQ curves. So, unless WWIII breaks out, that is the plan...exhaust with no other changes.
I guess the 3" collectors requirement precludes the 2.5" duals out the back. You guys mentioned both dual 3" and single 4"...is there a technical/efficiency advantage, or does it boil down to space and cost?
