If you could measure the power output from the starting line to the finish line you would better understand what I am talking about.
Adding a cam to the stock blower further runs it out of air even earlier.
Adding Meth is a last resort after all other options have been exhausted, plus it introduces another baby sitting job and potential failure point.
The more you think about it if you want more power than the stock 1.7 puts out then move to a larger supercharger. IMO
The heartbeat 2300, the Whipple 2.9 and the TVS 2650 in that order are all good options targeting your power goals.
Then you can sell your Stock Supercharger to a LT1 guy whos looking for a nice 150 RWHP upgrade and recover some of the money spent on the new charger.

Sticky material right there. Well said, Ted.
