Supercharger or Turbo?
I plan on dropping some sort of charger into my IROC when I get home. Question is what do you guys prefer? I've messed with turbos before so I guess you can say I know what i'm doing with those. Also what brand of either is the best? I've heard good things about the Kenny Bell Supercharger, and the turbos that I've played around with were always Garret brand. Where do you guys think I should buy one at. My little brother works at Summit Racing right down the road from my house but I do not know if they supply either of those. Thanks guys!

Re: Supercharger or Turbo?
My personal preference is a turbo. But really either will gain you some power you want and it also comes to how much work can you do yourself. A turbo requires alot more welding and fabrication but its efficiency is greater then most superchargers.
Ive ran a turbo for 4 years now. I love the sound of it and the potential HP that these things produce.
