Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo I've been planning turbos for the most part.
Well I have an opportunity to also do a big supercharger. Tell me what you'd like to hear about and see get built up.
Here are the choices:

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo If I were you I would do a stage 3 turbo nitrous setup with a killer motec exhaust system and aztec warrior graphics all over your car. Cant forget the altezzas and huge wing, and dont forget to double clutch

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo Do the turbo's your car will be much quieter(sp)and your neighbors will like you better. I hate having crosshairs on me when I start my car in the morning. <img border="0" alt="[shoot]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo Don't worry, it's perfectly possible to build a turbo V8 that your neighbors hate just as much as a supercharged one... <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo I voted for the SC...
Why, because John should do a turbo and he always does the opposite of what everyone says <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo Humm
tough choice...
D3MM, cogged v belt looks like a tractor tire set of 2, 2.125, 2.25 stepped headers (we know all players have to have these)
In all honesty I would do a Single turbo, Motec, air-air intercooler and call it a day. Only other choice would be a blower but belt issues would get old.

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo If you have the belt issues nailed down and do a nice set of 3.73's or 3.90's the SC would be a killer setup.The Vortech compressor maps are perfect for the LS1. Ice for aftercooler drag strip runs.
U know the word on turbos.. If the above is at a substantially lower price it would gain the edge for me.

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo well i have to vote for the turbo for obvious reason, but an ati unit with a nice cog setup will be plenty to soil your undies. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo 107 Days left........
You may want to pick something that can get you there within your self proclaimed time limit.
However....my 2 cents
REALLY high HP Superchargers throw belts! Unless they are engineered properly like Chris Sikoras is.
REALLY high HP Superchargers belts slip! Unless you run a cog setup.
700RWHP or higher I would make sure everything is engineered right from the start. Otherwise you're just throwing money down the drain.

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo Thanks for all the replies, keep 'em coming I want to hit a 100.
I'll be taking pics of the buildup. Car will emphasize parts that anyone else can buy, and nothing will be exotic or impossible to replicate.

Re: Project Dragula, Supercharger or Turbo There is nothing like hearing the sweet sound of the turbo(s) spool(ing) up, and then being pushed back into the your seat! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
