Everyone already knows the answer to this...
...for those of us who do all of our own work:
turbochargers require fabrication skill, mechanical skill, tuning skill, enjoyment of metalwork, and so forth (key word: skills)
superchargers are more likely to come as a 'kit' and install quietly for those with less skill/desire for metalwork. Not as great in the sack as a turbo, but hey its easier. The same people who spend 6k on a procharger probably also spend 3k on their fuel systems, in the form of another 'kit' and so on.

Your Penile Discharge should never go PSHHHHhhhhh. If it does you have a problem and should seek medical attention!
Just kidding of course.
Everyone and their mother is on the internet making 900RWHP with a junkyard 4.8 and a Chinese 7875 with an LS6 cam. So turbo if it were truly that easy.
Our Fbody engine bays suck so badly I vote for whatever fits the best.

all the turbo builds i encounter are always on jackstands getting built or fixed
procharger is definitely the easiest for an f-body if you want to actually drive the car, plus the power delivery is more fitting for a traction limited (rwd) or manual car

Oh **** my last post was way too factual for this thread, let me try again.
Do you guys think my junkyard 4.8 will spool this 118mm turbo ok? I just don't want to deal with lag.

What turbo or supercharger should I run? I don't have any HP goals, money, brains, skill or *****. Please stop what your doing and chime in on this project that will never happen so I can stay in my parents basement and still be social. Also can anybody suggest a cam?
