I've seen a few people on this site say that when you go SC/turbo that once you figure out how much you plan on spending, double that amount and that would be more accurate. Either way you're gonna need a stronger rear/clutch if your an M6. SC will be friendlier for a DD but the sound of a cammed LSX is

Hehe its a never ending process.. the more power you make the more you have to safe guard the car to ensure crap dont break etc.
How's that moser 12 doing? Very nice numbers cam only L) Im gonna be doing a new rear and heads this winter I think.

i know right now a nitrous daves wet plate kit with around 125 maybe 150 shot, trick flow heads, 90/90, MS4 cam, & all supporting bolt ons will let you know updates throughout out the build. after all that im getting a rear if mine holds up that long...

Procharger = More air
More air = More fuel...
That's how I thought it worked? Someone correct me on this?
I voted H/C as I'm not a fan of sticking FI on stock flowing motors. At least throw a set of PRC heads and a blower cam in it if you are going to go FI to really unleash the potential of the Procharger.

there absolutely is. the procharger does not require that you raise your rev limiter. a H/C package does if you want to take advantage of the power. it's not a myth at all. it's completely accurate.
that depends on how hard you launch...

Eithre way you cant go wrong. But Im leanin towards a procharger maybe next tax season. Its pricey but probably the easier bolt on. And who doesnt love the whine.

i actually considered the sts but have seen how low it sits one good speed bump and its gone, i like the one they have for the corvette with twins they fit real nice but they dont have one for f-bodies if they did i would have gone that way but i like the procharger well enough boost is boost

i dont like the sts cause its rear mount, hangs low and the 1 exhaust pipe out back looks stupid IMO if i was going with a turbo setup itd be front mount twin setup but my bank account is limited

Ya you are right there are always drawbacks but i was just saying that because a turbo dosent spool until higher rpms so it generall wont decrease too much gas milage untill you get on it. And when you are on it, it is a more free power then using a belt drive so you have more efficency. That is stuff you all probably know.

I still dont get why people think that the H/C/N20 setup is a "safer" route. Thats completely false. Any setup on a stock bottom end making over 450 rwhp is going to be pushing the limits of the engine. I voted for a procharger because you can run it at 7-8 psi on a stock engine with basic bolt-on and make 450+rwhp and have like stock driveability (idle wise at least). Sure H/C sounds cooler but to hit 450+ rwhp in a H/C setup your going to need a huge cam, good heads, fast 90/90, etc...which adds up quick. Figure $400-500 for a good cam, $1800+ for some afr 205's, $1200 for a fast 90/90 setup, new injectors + fuel pump, etc etc. Toss in a good nitrous kit with all the safety components and your looking at another $1000. Also, I agree that FI places a good amount of stress on the engine, but you dont have to rev it to the moon to make good HP as you will be making full boost before the 6200 stock rev limit. With a radical H/C setup your going to have to spin the car to 6500+ rpms to make max power, and toss in a 125-150 pill hitting at 3000 rpms and your stock shortblock isnt going to like that either, especially the rod bolts. I think you will be happy with your choice as both are great setups, but I just cant fathom how people can say that H/C/N20 is any safer than a ds1c setup at 7-8 psi on a stock shortblock. Plus if you have a good tuner then tuning the procharger shouldnt be an issue either. Def save for a good rear and tranny/clutch though and good luck, you will love the new HP!

Turbos are definitely the most efficient route FI. If you drive normal your virtually driving on a stock engine. Prochargers and like always have to pull a tad of energy from the engine nearly all across the RPM band. Is it really that big of a difference? Prob not. But staying off the gas when that turbos spoolin is quite hard.

No.. you need to pick another option along with B. Either A or C.
If you pick fast, it's either going to be fast and reliable, but not cheap, or it will be fast and cheap, but not reliable. If you wanted it to be cheap and reliable, it's not going to be fast, get it?
