Head and cam ZL1 with ported blower

TSP 255 heads and stage 1 "blower' cam headed my direction. As well as an innovators west balancer with 9.10 ring and metco 2.55. With this combination, what horsepower increase would be likely with a fully ported blower and snout. Just trying to decide if its worth the extra money.

My port from Jokerz:

https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showp...postcount=1185

I did a snout, blower port, injectors, and 2.45 pulley, those were the only changes...

I already had ported heads and cam, these gains below were just the blower upgrade:

55 RWHP 80 RWTQ

That is great. I am also looking at a ported supercharger from jokerz. What level did you get?

I had the 90mm snout port, bend welded to smooth the intake, blower ported but not the runners -- at the time, he did not have all those 'package' options.

So rebuilt blower with all his porting (minus the runners) and the 2.45 pulley...

I guess if I am going to spend $1200 on a partially ported blower, might as well put 400 more and go whole hog!!!
