Assuming you're refering to an LS1 car, I'd vote blower.

But there are some cars/motors that I'd vote turbo for.

How come?

I believe running any amount of boost, both are going to require a built engine?

Stock internals will hold up just fine with an ATI kit @4.5psi or so.

Now, make it 10psi and a 200 shot and that's an entirely different situation (long story, LOL), you can forget about stock internals at that point.....

Those are prices for just turbos though, not whole kits.

if you have the money for a procharger then i would go with a blower for the LS1, but also you can put a turbo on it and it be alot more fun to tune it and see what you can get. But I would vote for both it all depends on your budget because procharger is top $$$$$ for blowers for the LS1.. don't get vortech because you don't see as much increase as procharger.
