what is best & difference? What is the difference between a turbo, supercharger, and blower? What is the best for our LS1's? I dont want to have to mess with inside engine...what is the best to make some serious numbers?

Re: what is best & difference? Most people call superchargers blowers, I think, but they all blow... and suck. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> (You know, inlets and outlets.) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Really, I think SC or Turbo boils down to what suits your fancy and how much you can spend. Turbos tend to be more involved as far as installation is concerned. But Turbos generally have more immediate torque down low than a centrifugal supercharger. But, a Roots style supercharger will have low-end torque, too.
I, however, tend to like RPM dependent boost. Less shock onthe drivetrain and it works for me...
Golden West Performance Stage II ATI Procharger with stock internals: I ran 10.98 @ 125.83 MPH with 10 PSI of boost. 486.3 RWHP / 487.0 RWTQ, even witht he parasitic losses of an automatic transmission and a 3500 stall converter. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Good luck!

Re: what is best & difference? Complete with ATI SC kit, Fuel Pump and associated hardware, Injectors and programming - $5800.00.
It took me and a buddy using hand tools and no lift about 12 hours to install the kit... and, another afternoon to get the injectors, guages and fuel system in. Knowing how to do it, I bet I could knock off a few hours from the total install.
Call 303-346-5232, ask for Jason, and let him give you the particulars and answer all your questions.
