Default Turbo or SC

Just wondering what you guys would recommend turbo vs. SC. Is there a major cost difference between the two? I know of several known SC vendors, but not many turbos. Please help me I dont want to go the nitros road!!!!!

Thanks,

Mike

The ATI supercharger kits run about $4500 bucks or less for a D-1SC tuner kit, 7-8psi setup......


You need to prepare the car for the fuel its going to need, etc........

Its a lot to get into......

Im leaning towards the ati tuner kit. I know u need a new fuel pump and 48lb injectors. What kind of ETs would you guys think I would get with that?

Thanks,

Mike

Turbo's are alot more efficient than a supercherger turbo runs off exhaust, super charger's take power to make power because it runs off a belt Thats how I see it though I know there is someone out there that doesnt agree but turbo set ups cost more so you make the decision.
