Exclamation Supercharger HELP!!!

Ok I want to supercharge or turbo my 01' formula but have a couple of questions.

First which is better a supercharger or turbo?

Can I turbo/supercharge a stock LS1 without anything or what do I have to upgrade?

Any suggestions on brands or models of supercharger/turbo?

Thanks!

if you are running a high boost setup you will defiantly need to do engine upgrades. as far as turbo or supercharger goes that is a matter of preference. most supercharges will make a lot of power and torque low in the rpms, as compared to a turbo in the high rpms. a supercharger will be a lot easier to install because you do not need turbo exhaust manifolds but a turbo setup has a bit more potential in the long run over a supercharger.

I would split the differance and call Wheel to Wheel & get a Rotex supercharger set up. Then you have a supercharger with the efficency & impeller speeds of a turbo. This is with a ROTEX and ROTEX brand only!!
