i was either going to le1 setup or get a procharger they both come to the same price but which is better for power was only going to run 6-8 psi. thanks

 

I'm in the same situation as you trying to decide between going h/c or boost and through my research, it seems that boost is more expensive than h/c as it has more hidden costs and risks (esp dealing with a stock bottom end and boost addiction ). Lets see what others say.

 

Well... you both could boost, just not too high and at the same time save up for a forged motor. Or do both, but either way I would save up some money just for insurance since you may have problems any way you go.

 

The blower will have alot more potential over the LE1 package if you decide you want to up the boost down the road.

 

 

how many miles do you have on your engine? What are your goals?

 

95000 want to run low 12 high 11s with slicks already have full exhaust and some other stuff ran a 13.6 with a 2.2 60ft

 

Either way you are going to need heads, and with 95k... your bottom end wont like the added pressure (even if its only 6lbs). Start with a good set of heads and work towards a good bottom end, then finish it off with the blower.

 

watch that tranny also! remember... more power more strain on ur entire car! 4L60E? or T-56?

 

you shouldn't face yourself with such hard decisions...... DO BOTH!

 

If its a street car, why not do a turbo charger and have the power there when you want it and keep street manners when you don't? JMHO

 

already have a built transmission. turbos are a little bit more expensive. could i go high 11s with 8 psi

 

a good h/c will put you where you want to be with a stall.

 

Exactly, with your goals, a mild h/c kit will easily get you there.

 

Turbos arn't more expensive, build your own kit! Lots of cars have turbo stock, and you can buy them cheep! Buy an assortment of mandral bent pipe from jegs, and a ebay intercooler, BOV, and WG. With alittle bit of elbow grease and some imagination a turbo kit can be fabbed for next to nothing.
