Whipple or Ecs or Hellion

I just got a 6l90 trans Ans I'm running 3.73 gears, I don't mind switching gears again if needs be. I just want the best all around set up. I'm also on e85 with fore triple pumps and ID 1700 and I'm also going with bmr drag suspension and coilovers

Supercharger - I like ECS. It's affordable, and gives you room to upgrade for more power.

I'd go turbo over SC though. I also wouldn't limit yourself to only Hellion. You should also consider AGP. The only benefit you get with the Hellion kit over the AGP is the wow factor when you pop your hood. AGP is cheaper, it's easier to install, and gives you more options for upgrading turbo size and manufacturer. (There's nothing wrong with the AGP low mount turbos, many people have put a lot of miles on them without issue.)

(This is my opinion. Someone who's having a Hellion kit put on my car as we speak. Don't limit your options.)

I just want fact and proof

REAR MOUNT TURBOS. That was your mistake.

I was asking about what kind of power your wanting to make now, not in the past, for a simple reason. If your wanting to keep pushing your car, once you build your stock bottom end, and transmission, then in the long run turbos will be cheaper for big power.

I think its obvious that a SC'd car will get you there without question, and its also no secret that there are not many turbo cars doing it, a big part of that is not because they cant, its because there are just not as many turbo owners out there.

Take a step away from the C5 forum and search the internet, you will find plenty of 9 second turbo cars.

^^^ what he said.

BlazinDorito on here has run 9's with a custom TT setup for 2+ years.

He's changed his entire setup multiple times and is currently shooting for over 2k hp in an M6 so it can be done with a turbo setup.

ECS kits seem to do pretty well for the guys on here.

I'm trying to get there with a Maggie so it's all a matter of preference.

I've not looked at the fast list in a while but that would give you a pretty good indication as to who's been able to get there and what they are running.

Fran@RPM has gone well into 9s on turbo.

Several AGP cars running 9s on turbo setups. Hell there is a local AGP powered Camaro running mid 7s (2nd gen, not a 5th gen for clarity).

Any of those will make more than enough to hit 9s with proper suspension.

Back to Guiness. currently in Belfast.

I'm the same about the dyno number don't care its track number. You may need to work on your set up. With 770 to the rear you should be well in the 9s. I was trying to get there with 633. I got close a few times in decent air.
