Default Info on forced induction

I do not know much about super/turbochargers except that they are expensive, yet great power-adders for any engine. Could someone please explain to me the difference between the two, and the advantages/disadvantages of each? What do most people go with? Can both be used on a stock LS1, or do you need other mods--I know you need drivetrain and suspension and other mods, but I mean like pistons, cams, and other internal engine mods. I think you understand what I am getting at. I would just like to know more about these. Thanks!

Welcome to LS1Tech.com!
The reason no one has responded to your question yet is that this same question is asked by a new member almost every other week. This topic has been discussed so many times before and there is so much information, that your best bet is to try doing a search in this forum. You'll get better results that way.

Good Luck!!

Well the main dif is s/c is rpm based and turbo builds boost by exhaust gases.
