Looking for best option Wondering if it would better for me to go with a head and cam combo or a supercharger. You can look at my sig for my current mods. FYI I plan on adding headers probably QTP with either Corsa or Borla exhaust. Looking for streetablity and reliability, but still want most people to see the rear bumber of the the car when the situation arises. Sorry about such a general question.
Thanks

Re: Looking for best option K, you know what you want from it. Well, you can get reliability and gobs of power from both, so of course it's gonna come down to whether or not you wanna fork over $2000 MORE for the S/C. But another thing to consider is S/C setups can be more "efficient", meaning looking at dyno graphs for both, more power's made across the RPM band with a S/C setup, but with a H/C package you usually need to rev pretty damn high, some applications around 7k RPM, while a S/C you never go past 6K (rarely anyway). So yeah, that's a little to think about <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Looking for best option I did a lot of research... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
The ATI over all seems to be a better until....easier to install, runs off its own oil...
I think over all the ATI is the best supercharger out there.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: Looking for best option Which one of the board sponsers carry ATI's. I've looked at MTI's vortech. Just looking for comparisons (I don't just find 5 grand in my couch cushions you know) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
