Don't forget that these cars are created and designed from the factory with turbo setups making them much more resonsive and adaptive. You will not get the same effect when throwing a turbo on the v6 camaro as a stock 335 its just totally different.

Just FYI: the 335 is twin-turbo'd with two smaller turbos; to reduce the spool time; so; individually they are smaller turbos but together they equal one big one, boost-wise.

However: you are right about them being dead up top because of their size; they can't hold the high-power band.

And personally; I'd probably wait for a factory option on a S/C or turbo if I decided i wanted one anyway... I completely agree; it's much safer all around that way. My Frontier is factory 'charged and I love it... but I'd be scared if I'd done it myself; or even had someone else do it for me; only because of the simple fact that if it comes from the factory; it's all meant to go together. Putting it on yourself on equipment that wasn't meant for it is just a gamble to me.

But I honestly think I'd be perfectly fine with my 422-hp SS
