you can do that with either turbo or supercharger. Whats your budget? Do you have any mods currently? i.e. headers, exhaust, etc?

Full Exhaust lid thats about it I was looking for a root blower to be honest

a roots is ok, however I dont know of any off the top of my head that fit under the cowl. I am sure there are some out there. I would look at maybe a D1sc personally.

You wont stay at just 5psi for long, trust me.

I know but 5 is a start lol.

I am looking for a P1SC D1SC or vortech. I have the cash but no one is selling one. If anyone sees one forsale let me know!

do not buy a p1sc, you will quickly outgrow it. It is fine if you want a max 650HP out of that blower the time you own it. Of course, thats enough to blow up your bottom end, but then you would need to rebuild back to factory size to still be able to efficiently use it.

I would buy a D1SC or F1.

If you buy a vortech buy the YSi

5500$ is way more then I wanna spend on the setup I would likw to spend under 3 for the blower and piping(not includeing tune inject etc etc

I would think that you could find a used setup for $1500 or so. Then you have to buy injectors,pump etc.

why not a turbo kit?

480 is a very safe goal with good tuning on a LS1. As long as you have a good tuner and a good fuel system you can make your power goals with a SC or turbo. I would recomend leaving room to grow down the road. I remeber when i first got started and said "i will be happy with 400" then it was "well i will never need more then 450" and now its "if i could just get into the 10s" And i am sure by next year i will be hunting for 10.5s so i know it will never end.

What did you decide to go with. I'm in the same boat as you.

turbo pushing 7 PSI not sure what numbers to aspect but through a stalled auto I just need 470 RWHP and I will be in the tens

lol people like you make me laugh. Not to be a dick but the guy is just starting out and looking for something that is going to give him more power keeping him well within stock range and here you are trying to hit him with the big boy toys... Im sure if he wanted to spend 10+ on a full build those would be great choices..but give him a chance to get started. Start out with a P1..see how far that gets you and if you wanna step up to a D1 or bigger than you can upgrade down the road when you're ready for the rest of the supporting mods.

I say go turbo bc if you ever wanna upgrade sell the current turbo and get a bigger one, and you dont have to drop pulleys to change boost levels.
SC's kinda limit you to what you have and head units are usually alot more then a nice sized turbo.

I have already decided on a turbo now my focus is fuel delivery, FMIC, how much booost(I am thinking 7 PSI) how long will the motor last, what quarter mile times(Stalled A4), what gauges I will need, and where can I put them(I am not a A Pillar fan)

Snyper

For 7psi...Id say 60lbs injectors for room to grow later..a single 255 should support 7psi(depending on the turbo) without issue they are usually good to around 600hp.Engine life and 1/4 times can never be answered,like its been said a million times before,it might last 100 miles or it might last 100,000.

The 1/4 depends on traction, driver skill, suspension, ect... And (this is only my opinion) id go with(at least) a boost gauge a wideband(most important) and a fuel pressure gauge.
