ls4 supercharge
2. Space and complexity. A centrifugal blower won't fit in the space given, and even if it did, our funky accessory drive makes matters worse and would most likely need to be re-engineered. A roots-style blower may be a slightly easier fit, but you'd still have drive belt issues, and you modifying the hood may also be necessary.
Of course, you can solve any problem with enough $$, but it becomes a question of whether $10,000+ for 150 RWHP is really worth it!

even the turbo kits are a waste of money imo spend 6g on a kit and make only 500hp. If you really want to mod find a better car to mod.

Throw 6grand to a ls1 car or even a.ls2 and you would walk away from any turbo gxp mustang cobras etc. But with the t56 transmission you don't have to worry about blowing them up like the 4t65e hd which is another 3grand on top of 6grand for the turbo. 9grand for a somewhat dependable 500hp car is just a waste of money.

like today, i raced an LS2 GTO on the highway and lost, but not badly, i held my own. dude pulled up next to me after we both got off and was like surprised which I liked too
and while I'm not spending $5500 on the turbo in this lifetime for a FWD car, i think that the kit is a decent value, it includes the water/meth kit, an electric cutout, a quality turbonetics T66, and so on...slap some forged pistons, beefy head gaskets, head studs, and all arp hardware, and crank that turbo up for another 100+ HP for about $1000 if you can DIY, add a cam and DOD delete and your really in business
I do want to see an LS4 that can run LS9 heads with the LS9 2.3L blower...that would be the coolest FWD engine ever, and would for sure be in at least 1 magazine
somone step up! 
i have a stock bottom end 4.8 in my truck hitting 10.9@132mph stock heads, stock intake ,just 75mm turbo, cam , stall, 4l80 stock tranny so i dont see why an ls4 with a built tranny and a 75mm wouldn't be a beast , i new if i had my setup in a camaro it would be like a second faster but thats not the point its to have fun in what u enjoy is the point
