Default kenne bell question

Hey guys I got a small problem I'm trying to solve. I have a set of twisted wedge trickflow heads and trickflow street intake. I plan to use this on a 347 N/A setup, later in the future. I plan on buying an 89-92 5.0 LX and just make it a racer for the drag strip. Right now I have an 90 GT about 150K on the clock, with minor mods. Orig heads and intake are still on the car. I want to keep the car as close to stock but I want to reach about 300+ hp on a stock 302. I found the kenne bell supercharger, and thought that it could get me where I want. This way most of the motor can stay stock and I can easly change it back if I want. So would you say put on the trickflow stuff or buy the supercharger? I know I can get to the 300+ hp range both ways. Sorry about the long winded text, also does anyone have exp. with kenne bell?

go kenne bell and trickflow package with some 9.0:1 or lower pistons. and pass that 300hp mark big time. But yes either way will get you your 300hp

The heads and intake alone aren't going to get you to 300hp so I say go with the KB if you can swing it.

I know that just heads and intake alone isn't going to do it. But I'll get me close, before tuning. Here are my eng mods so far: full exhaust(unequal shorty headers, off-road H-pip, flowmaster american thunder cat-back) Underdrive pullies, 180 thermastat, adv. timing. and an E303 cam, this is whats installed. I have in the box 70mm tb/spacer, 75mm maf with 19 & 24 lbs sample tubs, set of 24 lbs injectors, 1.7 roller rockers, MSD coil/dis/and 6AL control. I'm sure I can get to 300hp with that setup and some mild porting to the heads. I have a family friend who will dial the setup in, I just don't want to install everything then have too take it off to install on a new motor. unless i just wait for a 331 or 347 then i don't have to worry about breaking things for the sc. Thats why I come to you guys, your opinions always helps.
