Turbos vs Superchargers

[zebra]

^^ very true!

back on topic... i'd go with turbos due to substantially less parasitic loss and stress on the engine components. yes there's more heat under the hood, which is why i'm looking at the STS remote system. i know... 'remote turbo... you're crazy!' just read the concept behind the system (which has been proven to work quite well). there's more on the left under the "The Technology" button

are you going v-6 or v-8?

there's a s/c in the works already for the v-6, and I know magnuson and a few other companies will be coming out with s/c's for the LS3

that APS system is pretty mean. i'll look more into that. the driver in the second vid on their site needs to learn how to launch, unless he's trying to show how it'll conservatively burn through two gears.

V8 for sure. not that i doubt s/c work fine, i'd just rather have a turbo setup.

not to mention: Gale Banks, John Lingenfelter, & others happen to make more happen with turbos. found this on the Lingenfelter site:

Lingenfelter twin turbo packages range from 550 horsepower to over 1,000 horsepower and supercharger packages ranging from 560 HP to 600 HP
