i would say it depends on what you are looking for. complete kit with everything you need for some good power? or great potential with a little bit of extra purchasing and a little more work. etc

I'm looking for for a complete kit that will make my car even for fun to drive . I'm not looking to go crazy with it. I would like to go play around and spank some Mustang and ricers asses !!!! I would like to keep it very drivable, NOT A PAIN TO DRIVE ...

Check this car out, I don't know if you considered an ATI ProCharger or not. This customer didn't even check the blower belt for two years, and it is his daily driver. Bob

you would probably be better off going with a supercharger because instant torque and you dont have to worry about spooling and the maggie is the most complete kit you can buy IMO. i dont know if you would have to buy a new hood though?

then its gotta be a maggie. great road mannors and ALOT of torque way low down. Also too, one of the most maintaince free units out there. The power potential won't be as great at a STS system, but it'll still be a fun ride!

Turbo's are a blast, and increase fuel efficiency a good amount. I dont have a GTO but on my SS the STS drives like stock until it gets into boost and then it doesnt stop pulling. Also your car will have a better chance of hooking on the street with a turbo setup and a drag radial since the power comes in much more smooth. I can hook up 570rwhp on some 275 bfg drag radials w/ out issue.

Procharger D1SC, most realiable cost effective way to achieve 500rwhp.

Maggie would be a blast due to the tire wrenching low torque.

Neither.

Centrifugal Supercharger or a REAL turbo kit.

STS turbo's are cool, and you can make big power. Personally. I would go with the Maggie. The sound, looks, and the flat out pull you get are just amazing for a daily driver.

Procharger FTW.

I wouldn't do either the ones that you picked. Though if I had to choose it would be he STS.

If its for street fun, go with the maggie. A co-worker has an 03 cobra-the noise from the blower is addictive! Plus all that low end torque will get that big goat moving.

another maggie lover here.
torque everywhere, no spool, no windup.
easy install, no need to hack stuff up, etc.
