do you have an SS.
if so there is no twin turbo kit available for the camaro or firebird.
there are singles out for the F-body.

performance wise the turbo will produce more torque to the supercharger.

either is good....I'd wait a little bit more to see the results of ls1motorsports new single turbo kit. If it puts out the numbers like their test car has ......you can hardly go wrong with it. The supercharger is a much easier install....depends on what you are really looking for.

Gale Banks is supposed to have a twin turbo kit out sometime. Thought it was supposed to be out already but things do take time.

Incon did make a TT kit for the camaro/firebird...but they are out of business and it is a toss up on whether people will get anything else or not.

Dave isn't sending Tom anything else, and until he does there is not a lot that can be done.

You are pretty much limites to a SC or a single turbo at this point.

There are only 100 or so Incon camaro/firebirds out there on the streets.

Can a SC make more power than twin-T's, motor being equal?

the picture is an incon kit.. they are not available anymore, so dont think twin turbos is on your option list until a new company shows up.

your only choices are supercharger or single turbo

all else equal the turbo has less parasitic losses so it will put more to the ground.
