Big cube solid roller w/a huge cam on a 108 lsa (or lower).......in my opinion....no forced induction sound can touch it.

But to answer the original question.....I like the procharger for power and sound.

My procharger on my C5 sounded ok.

I loved the sound of my Maggie though. Have more vids of my Maggies on my youtube account just look

I end of the road came up kinda quick in that vid, brakes work though. Turbo's sound cool too, not many around here though, for that matter not many F/I cars other then mine most of the time lol.

Those who are in the know... know. Those who think it's a bad belt are ignorant. Blow their doors off and take their lunch money.

Not against turbos by any means, but most of them are pretty much silent and the OP is asking about sound. Yeah, the BOV is the calling card, but around here in ATX that is the sound of annoying ricers trying to show off.

The STS Blue Camaro that EPP built is one of the baddest sounding turbo'd street cars that I have ever heard, but again, most turbo cars do not sound anywhere near that mean.

This is an old video and I had big plans for some "action" sequences. However, my "cameraman", Ouija, was watching his infant daughter and couldn't go anywhere. That's why everything was shot from his driveway.

"Hey, you got a procharger on that thng?"

"Nah, power steering pulley is screwed up."

Can't beat a centrifugal at idle.

I don't like the sound of the prochargers and other centrificals at idle..but thought they sounded pretty good at higher rpm. And they do have the roots type for our f bodies now they sound pretty good too.

I am most partial to turbo cars as you can see from my sig. Turbos spooling up and spooled up sound great.like some say sounds like a freight train going by or f16 taking off. And the blow off sounds are also very cool. I am going to be changing my aps blow offs or at least opening them so they are not recirced. I hear they are very quiet recirced. I am not going for stealth in my 99 ta. Turbo and stealth are not very compatible words..I like my turbos and blow offs loud..it may be a bit ricer but hey whatever.
And have heard a couple of sts cars and you can really hear the turbos nicely on them.
Look cool from the back as well.Great for car shows.

Don't you normally run a BOV with a centrifigul super charger just like you would with a turbo?

I have decide on which one sounds better so I say twin charged.
