What can you do to gain HP without loosing dependability on the 496HO. I been thinking the whipple super charger, but I am still leary off the pistons, Can I get 400hrs out of a supercharged 496HO, I have also thought about E-tops and doing whipple stage 3, I want any and all ideas from any of you experianced people.

dependability and reliability goes bye bye with any major mod like a blower I don't care what anyone says

Yep

What about adding Roller rockers, cam and E-TOPES along with whipple stage 3 any opinions.
