If you an get a good a&a type bracket, or a 8 rib setup with steel brackets so there's no issues I'd go that route. Just make sure it's not gonna have belt slip issues, and it's a simple decision.

You can go either.I was thinking Turbo for the 2010.Plenty of room to put a setup in that car with minimul cutting.

There is plenty of room...

But for cost effective usable street power, I'd have to agree with the 8 rib D1 setup.

Whats your goal? Turbo will be limited only by your imagination and wallet.

I like the turbo idea because of the new found room.... but any boost is good boost.

100% turbo. the heat doesnt effect them half as much, they make crazy power and help a street car out with traction.
i would go turbo, but use iron manifolds not stainless logs

Sorry, but can't agree w/any more iron, Brad. These cars are already as heavy as a small school bus....

i had stainless logs on my turbo set up and i had to reweld them every 2000 miles or so, they crack all the time. i could tell every 2-3k i would loose 1 pound, 2 pounds, 3 pounds. ok time to rip it apart and reweld it. lol
to me on a driver it was way to much work. i ended up welding plates to the most common areas and that helped. but the cast will never be an issue

I guess I am prejudice since I ran a F1 procharger on the last fbody. I love the look of the new procharger set up. How its mounted up high and there is an extra tensioner on there. Looks really sharp. and if I did the motor down the road. the F1 will fit also...
