So which is better a procharger or a turbo for the price that is? I hear and see a lot of talk on here about turbos so just wondering why not a procharger instead?

You guys have fun
Well, you're black car could do it for sure, and you're passes would work for both. It's no more trouble than posting....

LOL....and if my ls6 was in a light *** fox with a rear to hold it then it would thrash your built 351.........Oh wait......it did that anyway

So much for that huh heater. Now why don't you stay off my *** with your stupid ****.

If you showed him a 351 running 10s with bolt-ons, his next bitch card be that it never came from the factory in a fox.

HiO, I've never sent a single PM asking what your deathtrap has done to it. I don't take you seriously enough to give a ****.

I'm surprised you haven't made your own 2.0:1 ratio rockers yet Domestic supra ftw!
2.0 rockers???? I like it

LOL at death trap but builds a fox. How stupid is that comment?

Boy....you don't have a clue about much of anything. You're still wet behind the ears.

Ok Doug. Just for clarification, are you going to start referring to a car's potential by what most people run in them...or what they are actually capable of?

The head issue is blown out of proportion fix the heads it's not that expensive if you just strictly want to fix that problem and not do other things while you have it apart. There's only been like 1-2ppl fail with modded heads.

LOL...you still on this kick dude. I always try to use as fair comparisons as possible. I looked up mag times and corrected myself. Those are what the cars did on that day on under even circumstances. Not some dude using long cool downs, iced intakes, adjusting tire pressures possibly removing seats, doing free mods or whatever.

Get off the junk *** v6 **** already.

Depends on your wants and goals. Full tilt, a turbo would be the best choice being its practically free horsepower. With the blower, it takes hp to make hp(spinning the unit). Turbos are more... how shall I say... setup friendly... meaning with the push of a switch/turn of a ****/change of a setting etc, you can go from pump gas friendly street driving, to full kill mode boost wise.

To make a long story short..... Turbos rule superchargers any day of the week.

Yep.. Buick kicking *** since the 60's..

Also, I thought this was cool. Wanted to build something just likes this before..
