Default LT-4 heads flow well enough for s/c

I have the Hot Cam and did gasket matching, bowl clean up and polishing, three angle valve job. What my concers are, If i install a supercharger would it make worth while hp gains through those heads. I was planning on using the stock crank and getting new rods and lower comp pistons, but keeping the stock 350ci displacement for now. Love the looks and punch a s/c gives, the budget will be lower than I'd like ....but hey that's life.

:cheers: :cheers:

You should use a forged crank as well, you dont want one weak link to break and cuase damage to the other parts of your engine.

It should, I think I have read somewhere that superchargers do a good job of making up for poor flowing heads. The LT4 are good heads to start with.
