I have always been a fan of superchargers, but some people are telling me to go with a turbo kit instead. I thought I would post this thread to here to get a little hinsight? Thanks

This is a forced induction board but notice how 80% of the posts are about turbos? Supercharger, easy to install but limited on power output and it takes 1-2 PSI to make up for turning the compressor.
Turbo uses existing exhaust pressure rather then turning a compressor with a belt. The exhaust restriction from the turbo affects the motor much less then the drag induced by using the crank to turn a compressor.
STS= all the good things of a turbo with an easy install. C5 kit coming out spring time.

I ran the gt70 sts at 10 psi with a 220/226 561 lift cam on a 115 and got 639hp and 615 tq at 4500 with 16 degrees timing
Also it idles at 700, its quiet, and its a blast with the turbo, completely different feeling then the SC
