I guess I am just looking for some ideas, and opinions on whether or not this 454 is worth working on. Again, reliability is very important to me, and I don't want to be reworking it every year. I would prefer to stay out of the bottom end of the motor. Almost every post here does include head replacement, is this because of the "peanut ports"? Would the motor really take a supercharger "as is"?
You can stick a blower on there but unless you've been through it before plan on spending twice as much as you think it will cost

I should add.. Better exhaust is also going to help huge. Those power numbers are on the dyno with good aftermarket exhaust
