Help me decide
stock 2002 Firehawk and im between 2 choices
1- 408 and an F1 supercharger
2- 370 and an LS1speed twin turbo kit
it will be a street car with around 700-800whp and little drag races so what do you guys think?

You could go either way and have a very fast car, it will be a tough decision!
I think would be up and running much sooner with the ProCharger F1A, than you would with the twin turbo kit. Bob

The reasons I stayed supercharged for the street car.
Turbo negatives-
1-Blistering heat, heat wave when you pop the hood, many things have to be protected from the heat.
2-Lag, I like to stomp it and be gone.
3-Power band. more difficult to control once spooling occurs.
4-Tuning, more difficult
5-Sound, pull into a car event with a blower and everybody knows it, you find out there is a turbo car from word of mouth.
6-No advantage, they sell bigger turbos "and" bigger blowers.

either is a good choice and you got a good company for each to choose from. I would pick like this....s/c if you want badass sound at idle and cruising with an in your face idle and rumble. turbo if you want stealth...closer to stock idle/sound....turbo will be more expensive and take longer. If you are a gadget person...turbo is the ticket....set and forget so to speak is s/c
