should i go vortech v9 or turbo
What is the most power ever made from a vortech v9 kit. Just seeing if i should buy it since its for sale for $2500 or should i save some more and do turbo looking for around 600+rwhp

Nice. Yea i already have a cold side kit and turbo that i bought from a company so all i need to get is the hotside from them and wastegate and oil lines. But for $2500 i figured it was a good deal but from what you guys are saying is that turbo will be better and easier to make the power im looking for. It will be a 6spd car also.
Lsxformula99: are u saying on the street you would rather have the procharger and turbo for the track?

yeah i traded my procharger kit for a truck manifold kit last year, then traded that for a forward tubular header t6 ofi kit...kinda mad i went to "racecar" with it.
a TC76 would be a good turbo for you, and i would look for used wastegate and blow off valve.
For the street I would rather have the procharger than turbo. u can prolly just buy a headunit and bracket then just use ur cold piping u have.

Gotcha now u got me thinkin if i should continue with the turbo or get the procharger head unit and the bracket. Hard choice plus i love the sound of it. But is it really that simple to just buy the headunit and bracket and run a pipe from the procharger to the other side of the intercooler being that the procharger mounts at the bottom anyway so that makes it easier.

It says in your signature that you have a 408 on spray, what is your compression ratio? And what Trans/Rear? Also I really don't think a TC76 would be that good, it would run out of steam and choke on a 408, a PT88 would be more properly sized. What turbo do you have now?

I think he means there Race Bypass Valve. If you have the option I would go with it also, it can withstand more air (I guess that's how to put it) basically its just better.
