Default Compound, or Centri?

o, i'm digging for some opinions. for the past few months i've been slappin together plans for my compound turbo setup. buuuutttt. lately i'm sort of questioning my faith and thinkin of going procharger. any opinions? i'm lookin for roughly between 7-850 hp. it'll be street driven. mostly on those beautiful days. 6 speed. also not sure which motor i'll be running yet, it will be of course ls based. but it will be built to support my power goals. I'm open to any and all opinions really. thanks in advance

twin charging is very expensive to do and not easy. a nice turbo set up single or twin will get you to those power levels no problem. pro charger will work fine too

Agreed. but with the compound setup it gives really nice power with a great powerband. then only down side is the pricetag

if you can afford it, i would say go for it. just make sure you calculate all the cost before starting, so there are no surprises

good luck

I would have to say go with a Procharger. It will be much easier to setup and get running, probably cheaper as well. Thats my opinion, although it might be a bit biased lol. I happen to be selling a Procharger kit that can make 800+rwhp easy.

A combination like what is in the above link would be hard to beat. Bob

I don't think a compound twin turbo system would have any benefit on an LS1. Now, a Cummins Turbo Diesel on the other hand......
