    seriously its a waste of money. to run 13s you need a full blown cammed setup. not worth it at all. find some form of FI to go with.

    okay, just for you:

    look into a power adder. if you want to go really fast for cheap, just run a buttload of nitrous.

    that will get you like 40 hp tops and look at how much all that crap costs. a top swap can be done easier

    Not trying to knock the guy but a top swap is no where near as easy as those three mods he listed. Top Swaps are great but some non-mechanically inclined people might not want to tackle it...rockers, HV3, and exhaust mods are A LOT easier

    he asked how far the n/a motor could be taken, not how to get a small increase of extra power, so a top swap would be in order or turbo.

    I'm asking about what can be done to the L26 to give it more power before putting a super charger or turbo on it

    ahh, why didnt you say that to begin with then?? lol

    The hv3 while effective just seems like too much money to me, idk. Rockers are good, i will be getting those too, and the powerlog is good also, just port out your rear manifold if you feel like it to get a little more out of it. There is always the nitrous route but i hate the fact you have to keep fillin it and its like $50 for a 10 pound bottle fill.

    do you have plans to go blown or a turbo setup? which one? some parts you cant use on a turbo setup compared to a supercharged setup.
