Checking Options on Forced Induction Checking Options on Forced Induction
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm checking my options on either a turbo or supercharger setup.
I'm looking to pickup at least 100hp on my weekend cruiser.
Motor has less than 8000 miles on a rebuild.
LT4 Hotcam Kit, New Timing Gear and Chain, Felpro 1074 Head gaskets, Keith Black Hyper. Pistons 9:5:1, high volume pump, Arp rod bolts. It has stock rods. The heads have been hand ported mildly. 30Lb Injectors, 52MM TB.
Other than possibly a bigger fuel pump I'm not looking to change much else.
I've searched thru some threads and see my compression is a little high, also Hotcam isn't a really good FI cam.
Taking all that into account:
Turbo or SuperCharger?

man you should do a search... there is lots of comparisons and opinions here. That said, a turbo setup is the best choice but since you only want 100 hp then go with whats cheaper. All the negatives with a supercharger only come when you are pushing the envelope in search of more power.
