I'd just opt for the Whipple 3.3L if I were going to using a S/C.

I did say 9" rear
OK, 1 7/8 headers
Whipple is nice but it is 8,000 dollars.
I like twin screws, but turbos rock as well.

I'd probably purchase about 500 different cams and test them out on the street/track/dyno... LOL

I'd keep the truck for DD status, and buy a nice, clean 3rd gen--1992--Camaro RS, do a procharged LS1/6M swap, new paint, wheels, suspension, the whole thing.

Actually might need a bit more than 20K for that.
