Renegade you are confusing me. Boost is boost the motor or ecu does not know that it is coming from a turbo or blower. You can tune a blower the same as a turbo, Timing and fuel. Turbos just make more power and torque.

Id say bolt on, and spray for now, but get something expandable. Then build a low comp motor on the side, and slowly build that sucker, and slam that in their, and upgrade your fuel system and spray that also.

I say go with the Turbo option.

I'm getting a front mount turbo from GMR Speed. Give them a call, I've seen their turbo kits on some LS1 cars and they were awesome.

You can make huge power with the Turbo and it sounds cool too.

Yes, I wasn't saying that Blowers are better than Turbos because of tuning, although it did kinda sound like it once I re-read. I was just saying I would go with a ProCharger because they require less maintenence, nice warranty etc. If I was going to run an allout drag car I would do a Twin Turbo or something, but for a daily driver, a ProCharger is perfect for Me.

Ditto. Maybe a supercharger if you really want the boost. i wouldnt want those boost pipes and a turbo where a muffler should be.

i am a 20yr fan of nitrous and will continue to use it so i opt for turbo and n2o.
for a daily driver nitrous is good but sometimes when cruisin around some may be caught with their pants down hmmm empty bottle or psi too low,turbo or supercharger is always there.
i definately was not a fan of the rear mounted turbo until i did my own research and started paying a lil more attention to my buddy jon it makes sense to have a rear mounted turbo power is of course limited to your motor set up.just how long do you think you can spray your motor on the freeway before the motor blows or you run out of n2o,sc or turbo will keep with the keepin on.so if you should happen to see me on the freeway with a turbo-thingy hangin out back think twice

I love the sound of the STS. But I would say the N2O would hit harder. I'm at the same point you are. What are the bolt ons you are planning to go with the spray?
