Default Need some Ideas/Help

Hey guys im currently in Iraq and ill be back in about 6 more months so i want to start planning my next project.

Current mods are in sig, stock engine with Stage 2 custom heads, c1 cam, springs, rods. I do have a walbro intake pump and an inline. and 30# SVO injectors.

So with that said which way should i go? turbo or supercharger? I would like to do twin turbo's.

BTW MONEY IS NO OBJECT, I JUST WANT THE BEST AND DONE RIGHT! :d

also my engine bay is gutted so fitment isnt an issue.

thanks for the help

Jerry, I have been researching the same things, as I am getting to redeploy to Afghan this time. So, this deployment is car time. Anyway, I am really leaning towards Turbo. You have the QMP Kit and others listed in this section as well. QMP doesnt sell it in kit form anymore, gotta drop the car off to them. Theres some vendors/companies that will do a custom Twin Kit, which is what I am leaning towards now. Average $ for the custom TT is around $8-9k without the engine work. I know you said it no object, but nice to know.
Odd I am sitting in West Point now, I am stationed in 25th ID though, on pre-dep leave visiting family. Take care and get back in one piece. Have some friends in the 10th MTN, wierd.
