I personally like that the boost is mechanically set by the pulley and not a solenoid that can fail using boost controller and destroy your engine.

Side note: Thank you BOTH for your business

I went with turbo for my application and I like being able to adjust the boost, especially since I'm at altitude. There is no real answer except what you like and what you find best for yourself.

TVS 2300 all the way. It only kicks in when you foot is pushing hard!!

Wouldn't it make more sense to go turbo as a daily driver? The reason being that if it is your daily driver, you want the best possible MPG and with a turbo, you will be close to stock MPG unless you get on the boost. With the supercharger, you are always in boost. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Your wrong.

SC have bypass valves so they are not always in boost.

Turbos generally increase gas mileage because the motor runs more efficient at part throttle. I know my friend saw 2mpg increase going to twin turbos.

True! I saw 2 or 3 mpg increase with my tvs on my g8 too!

Jessika, is SLP a re-branded "Lysholm" supercharger?

For a car making under 700rwhp the Maggie all the way. The extra TRQ from the maggie helps a LOT with the heavy camaros. We are running a special right now on the SLP blowers installed.

I haven't had both but the tvs2300 has been trouble free and met every expectation for me. The torque is a monster at the strip but I'd rather have to deal with the torque than wish I could launch harder. I must say, turbos make huge power per pound of boost. As long as they are reliable , they are better from my point of view. Personally more components equals less reliability(keep in mind I have never had a turbo). That's just the way I viewed it when I made the decision.

No. The lysholm is a twin screw supercharger. The SLP is a roots supercharger.

My vote is for the TVS2300, almost finished installing my kit. Turbos are too many parts.
