I think whipple makes a supercharger that works with the TBI? I haven't been able to find them lately, but I have seen them. I bet that would make a cheap/fun ride. Add some meth injection and turn up the boost...you'll be set for racing.

Whats the point of a charger when the heads won't even flow any air? The TBI 454 is a joke, I had one the only thing it was good for was pulling a gooseneck, that thing would lug, revving it up was a joke.

Old post is old. You can force as much air as you want through there by upping the boost more and more, but an engine can only pull so much air through a set port.
But yeah, it's better to upgrade the heads first
