Re: Turbo or S/C Depends on what amount of Money you are wanting to spend. Check out the Turbo ou are talking about at www.ls1motorsports.com The procharger is a great item and you will hear that from many on here especially Black LS1 TA he could answer more on that for you.I have the Vortech and I like it too, but I got it because at the time I got a great deal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> so It's really all about what kind of money you want to spend.

Re: Turbo or S/C Go to www.BlackLS1TA.com to see how I did with the ATI Procharger, upgraded to a Stage II with Golden West Performance's fueling and programming.
Rob Raymer's Turbo kit looks like it's going to be a winner, too.

I'm waiting for my converter to get back so I can bolt the tranny back to the motor and set her in.
I talked to Mike Senia yesterday (Yank) and found they have been out of town for some type of testing/trials since Thursday. That is when my converter arrived (last Thursday). <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" />
It normally is a two day turn-around for them. If they ship it today, as they projected (I authorized 2-day service), I'll get it in time for putting the 422 back in this weekend.
Thanks to Mike for trying to bust butt on the turn-around time, even though they just got back into town Tuesday. My fingers are crossed.

If you have the headers/Y-pipe/exhaust required for a blower, then it's reasonably cheap to do the blower. If not, your expenditure will be similar, or even less with Rob's kit. The SC likes $1600 worth of exhaust mods and an exhaust crutched cam for power production that equals a good turbo system. The turbo reconfigures the exhaust anyhow, and it likes short-duration, low-lift, wide LSA cams, like the stockers that we're totin'.
I've done all the exhaust mods, but I'm going Turbo, because of Rob's rep, and I know turbo systems from my Talon daze, er... days <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Turbo or S/C I have been trying to decide this as well.. We need more guinea pigs out there so we can have 600rwhp plus systems that are reliable. Once this happens I will purchase the best one..
