I am deciding to go either forced induction with a supercharger or to do cams and head work to my automatic LS. My question is, which will I get more power out of? Crower cams with a little head work, or a Jackson Racing Supercharger at 8-9 PSI? I have heard that cams on an LS would be pointless for the lack of high rev point. Even so, please do not suggest turbocharging because I have already run through that option and it is just not for me at this time, maybe with my next car. All I'm looking for is a little more punch out of my LS for another 2-3 years before I sell it. With that in mind, which of these two options seems more practical with what I have done so far? Which will I see the most gains with, and which will be most reliable? Thanks.

If you want the power you are looking for then I suggest the jrsc for your auto LS. I was in the same situation as you also but I decided not to get the cams because they will not give me the power I am looking for. A also refuse to turbo my car b/c I had so many annoying problems with my boosted Lude (CEL codes that would NOT GO AWAY). I am either going to get the jrsc or I am going to swap for a B18C w/ and auto p28 (keep my auto tranny (from what I hear the auto to man swap is a PITA)).

I hope you are kidding. He has a auto ls. The auto is a killer
