2010 Camaro SS Turbo or Supercharger ?

[inglopez19]

Hello guys !

I got a 2010 Camaro SS and made some performance stuff to my car.

BTR LS3 N/A STAGE II 3 BOLT CAM
K&N Intake
Long Headers
Exhaust 3''
Car tunned

So im in the process now to choose between a turbo kit or an supercharged
to my car.

What you guys think is my best option here ?

Depends what you do with the car. You'll get different answers if it's a daily driver, primarily drag car, auto or manual, etc.

What are the specs on the cam? Lift, duration, LSA, and overlap?

You may not be getting a lot of response because your question is just too open ended. If you don't already understand some of the basic advantages/disadvantages of turbo VS supercharger then I recommend you read the sticky in this section about them. It is good reading and someone went to a lot of trouble to put it together.

I do understand some of the basics, want to read some of the past experiences from somer users here in the forum. But yes, i will keep reading some old post also.

Member's build section (Member Car Journal) -- you'll see what folks started with and what they have currently -- and why they chose what they did. Lots of answers there.

It boils down to what you want to do with the car as opinions are going to be 'personal preference'. Advantages to both...

The manual cars are over built quite a bit from the factory. We have a number of customers who've done 800+whp on E85, stock LS3 cars just adding our turbo kit and fuel system.

Just to set the record straight - turbo(s) or supercharger will really float your boat. Can't go wrong with either, and either camp will justify their awesome results. As everyone else has stated, it depends on how you want your car to drive with what you're doing with it. Specifics will help.

Turbo will likely require something other than your long tube headers and/or custom exhaust modifications to retain them.

Both will likely require the front fascia of the car to come off in order to install the heatexchanger/intercooler. (a couple of turbo/SC kits [like the ECS kit] do not require this)

both will require a fuel system upgrade. anytime you introduce more air in that volume into the motor, you will need to add more fuel. lots of times the turbo/supercharger kit come with them

supercharger will give you instant power off the line
turbo will likely require you to spool up and maybe invest in a 2-step


both make ridiculous power and i wish i had either.

These are just basics. You have to decide what you want the car to do and how you will be using it in order to decide whats best for you. Hope this helps

What kind of budget do you have? And also if there is a budget will you be doing the install or have a shop do the install,turbos normally cost more for install
