Worth noting the 4.8 is an iron block, so +85 lb. (ish) more weight on the nose of a car that's already too nose-heavy stock.

SC Kit for reliability (Jackson vs HKS)

If you’re comparing those 2, don’t forget Harrop. Same blower as Edelbrock, but lighter manifold, better cooling, no MAF problems, and the bypass valve doesn’t fail as often.

500hp for periodic freeway pulls in a safe tune is different from 500hp in time attack
is different from 500hp in a drag race. 500hp with approaching OEM reliability? LS swap.
