street racing question...help me decide. yea i read some post on this topic but wanted to get it straight. im looking at one or the other, h/c or supercharger, ill be playing more on the street than at the strip. what i understand is that the h/c will win the drag race at the strip or on the street and the supercharger will win the 50mph roll on. is this right? i dont want to strip the car (30th t/a) down to save weight, maybe just some little stuff. also do you guys race more from rollons or from a stop/very slow rollon when your cruisin. help me decide

Re: street racing question...help me decide. there are alot of questions to answer: 
is this a daily driver or just weekender?
how much $$$ do you have to spend?
how is the rest of the car set up, ie better clutch, good suspension?
how fast are trying to go? 9's, 10's , 11's, 12's ?

Re: street racing question...help me decide. i was thinking a g5x2 and the lg motorsports heads package or the d1-sc procharger. the duration on that cam is 230/240@ .050. i dont know how radical that is in a ls1. the one in my irocz is 249/258@.050 and its very rowdy. i dont want the t/a to be like the irocz.

Re: street racing question...help me decide. I have a turbo on my car. I just got it about 2 weeks ago and havn't taken it to the track yet, but it's a great street car and a sleeper too. The turbo doesn't make any noise under regular driving, the exhaust sounds great and comes alive when I gun it, and the car kills from a roll. If I had better tires and a 12bolt, it would be great from the light too. I don't think H/C will be able to get you what you want without changing the feel of the car. My car feels stock under regular driving and becomes an animal under boost. You could also look into the superchargers as well. I prefered the turbo since it didn't make the whine that the supercharger does....
