Upgrades for 402 LS

[WS6]

I just need to keep it out of Mary's evil grip! I have 2 cars it could go in, or a third I haven't even built yet.
One problem is, I was fairly far along building a Brodix tall deck block 18 deg headed 427 for my 67 and I don't know if I should sell it or finish it and use it in the car.

I like how smooth Steve's engine runs on the street, and the torque is great. It looks like working on the intake and Throttle Body would help. Cam change? Maybe.

Two things about a supercharger, I think the compression is too high, and it would add some extra weight.

I wouldn't put an SC on the engine.

Something to keep in mind if you aren't already aware. The FAST 102 has different runners available for it. You can test and tune the intake essentially. It's not a cheap setup but I think I would lean this direction so you can hopefully optimize the power with a day worth of dyno tunning. VMax Motorsports offers a cable operated 100 or 105mm billet throttle body that is gorgeous and will fit the front of that intake. I'm betting you'll want a 95 or 100 and not the 105 for great throttle response. Check with Pete at VMax or Mike Norris as he carriers VMax parts as well.

Going with a carb style intake may be possible also. I can't remember but I believe they are all single plane only which could hurt bottom end if the runners are too large. It will definitely help top end though. I think the FAST 102 would be better simply because you can change runners.

Then again, loose just a tad on the bottom but gain a bunch up top may work better on the courses you'll run. See how this could get out of hand quickly, lol.
