Which sounds better
#5
I like the sound of the superchargers, but I did have fun driving the twin turbo Corvette we built with it's two blow off valves. Driving through small towns and shifting through the gears would get the blow off valves echoing off the buildings. Sort of ricey, but it was still fun... Bob

A turbo sounds badass!. The only street blower I've heard that I like has been the KB blower...
Like this one: http://videos.streetfire.net/Player....l%20Cobra&p=10
For me to install a blower, it would have to be at least this loud, no less. The LS1 blowers I've heard are too tame... IMO.
BTW, I know it's a Supra, but it's because of this sound I'd never get an SC. This was posted here some weeks ago. Unrivaled freakin sound! Pure bliss!

At cruise-ins the blower turns alot of heads and then draws a crowd when you pop the hood. Turbos soung great too but nobody knows you've got one unless you feel like breaking the law.

It's going to be to much fun when I pull in and some of the yahoos say: "what no more blower? Great..lets race!"
Me: sure
