Thanks alot
Thanks alot
i went with STS and my results are no where near done. i have 1.5-2 psi left which is about another 40-50rwhp left
Well the thing is its not the money its about value of the products for the money EX. say a procharger puts outs 550 rwhp for 9K and a turbo could put out 600 rwhp the turbo would be a better deal to start off with. Just examples dont take them to heart!
IMO, I think turbos are capable of putting down more power at similar boost levels. The supercharger will probably be easier to install than a traditional front mount turbo set-up, but I reckon the STS kit vs Supercharger would be about the same. With the procharger, you'll need to get the exhaust system beefed up and probably a few other things to compete with the turbo at similar levels.
Plus, if you do your homework and beef up the engine a little, all you have to do is turn the **** on the boost controller to let more boost in verses swapping out pulleys and belts, etc. Plus, no belts to break...etc.

For just a packaged deal I would have to say an ATI Procharger. I am a little biased because I have one but its still a tried and true system that performs. EPP has great deals on them.

Who has to keep tuning and messing with a Turbo setup????
I messed with belts and pulleys to get the desired boost with my mods more with a SC setup then i did with my Turbo setup... plus i had to deal with belt slip....
I dont think ill ever go back to one....
