which one to choose?? I'm somewhat new to the turbo and supercharger world. I'm lookin to get the vortec supercharger. But which would be better turbo or charger. If anybody knows of a good manufacture of either one it would help me out. Just tryin to get some input right now before I purchase anything. thanks

Also there are a ton of Supercharger and Turbo makers out there, check out some of the sponsors to your right or click one of these links for the manufacturers I know about.
Superchargers:
Accessible Technologies Inc - ATI - Pro Charger BDS Holley Superchargers Paxton Vortech
As I said I'm a supercharger guy so I don't know very many Turbocharger makers, but on the TURBO FAQ there are links to makers for the LS1.
Well hope this helps
If ur a newbie to the FI world id think ud prolly be happier w/ a supercharger like a P1SC at 5-7psi or the aftercooled vortech g-trim w6-8psi. Only reason i say this is because i believe their easier to install, no boost lag( compared to turbo, etc But it takes hp to run the blower belt and usually once you get into the higher boost levels u run into belt slip & belts comin off
Turbos make more torque generally but ud most likely go w/ a single turbo and their are some pretty good priced kits out there from phamspeed and STS (the rear mount ones) and they take no hp to run since they run off exhaust. I dunno just a few rambiling thoughts.
If ya go supercharger, id go w/ the P1SC cuz its self contained, easier/cheaper to install and priced lower than the aftercooled vortechs
If ya go turbo then i dunno prolly one of the phamspeed or sts kits
Anyway after all that dumb stuff i just said, id recommend you go with a supercharger ur first time out!
