Supercharger or turbocharger
 

Are you going to supercharge your camaro or turbocharge it? also what other after market parts will you add. as for me, supercharger, headers and an x-pipe. not sure not mufflers but will have to see how it sounds.

and i forgot a CAI. but i need the money first

We've got a nice modifications thread already in full swing here:

but I'll leave this thread separate as the poll attached deals solely with Forced Induction...

Several quotes from another thread. Here's my response.





To sum it up. Turbo for me, hands down. Just gotta wait for the warranty to be up. :5thgenvert:

Supercharger for me its more American

QUoted for truth there haha Supercharger to me reminds me of an american muscle car,

Turbos remind me of imports and although some will use a play on words that it is being its made at GM of Canada ..... leave the turbos for honda and all the other imports.

P.S. - No matter where you get it, it's still AMERICAN LOL

Ferrari, lambourghini (audi/ford), Audi(ford), Bugatti, Mercedes, Chevy, Dodge, all have used Turbos in stock cars.


How American are turbos again? :thanks:

oooooooo shot me down lol, you have a point but in my opinion superchargers are it!

but they don't use turbo's in top fuel dragsters and chevy alone has more supercharged car's out right now then turbo they have the vette, cobalt, and (possibly in the future) the camaro

Well, while it is true that superchargers were first used in cars by germans, and GM produced the first car with a turbocharger in the 50's, the impression is still that superchargers are more american than turbo's. perhaps is because of their use in top fuel dragsters and muscle cars. I doubt that I will add either a turbo or a supercharger to my Camaro but if I had to choose I would pick a supercharger. It just feels right, ya know?
There are advantages and disadvantages to each, and most of those problems can be worked around a bit.

But I won't be taking my car to the track except to see just what it can do. Rarely will I take it to the limits that it will have built into it. I won't feel the need to extend those limits. Anything that I will do will be relatively cheap and easy. Spending a few thousand on a supercharger doesn't quite fit into any of that. But for those that want a car thats even more badass than the Camaro already is, go for it. I want to hear what kind of numbers you guys get from it. And also your 'kill tally' :burnrubber:

Supercharger all the way

I don't think either is more american than the other. I just like blowers better than the hairdryers ;). Where I see the import argument come into play is when you have more turbo than engine.:D

Chrysler built more turbocharged cars than anyone.

Supercharger,

Twinscrew whipple to be exact...

Dependable, safe, features, moddablility, and just plain raw power.
