V6 turbo or supercharger??

I was just curious as to what's the better choice, a turbo or supercharger? Also what would y'all recommend?
Where can I find them?

Thanks for the help

I went with the IPF SC kit. For the LLT its probablly the most mature in hardware and tuning. It is my almost daily driver so I really couldn't deal with an R&D project. The IPF kit can be installed in a day or two by anyone with a little mechanical knowedge.
I have had the IPF installed for almost 1 year and have had no issues since the install. The extra power is compareable to a V8 and the gas mileage is still great.
When looking remember that the real important part of any FI install is the tune. The LLT ECU is not the friendliest to tune and there are really only a few people that will touch it, IPF just happens to have the tuning capabilty needed to make this kit sing.

IPF is your best bet for a supercharger...turbo, I really dont know. There arent many options for our cars. Twin turbos is probably the new IPS? kit they just released. Amazing power and not that bad of a price.

on the IPF for the SC...However the IPS TT kit is for the LFX bc they scrapped the build on the LLT due to tuning

for turbo builds (for LLT) you will probably have to get a custom kit

Thats true! Forgot it was for the LFX...lol Well it looks like its IPF SC kit, or going the custom route. Which can be pretty costly from what I heard. And the tuning isnt worth all the headache with the LLT unit. We used to have "many" options I guess you could say a few months back. But that has taken a trip downhill

Yes, the LLT is cursed now.

A brief "emoticonical" history of FI/Tuning the LLT:

First it was all like, then briefly it was all like , then it changed to , followed by , which appears to have landed at , hopefully not resulting in .

Hopefully, nobody who has had problems takes the above the wrong way, just trying to interject some levity. I have much for those that have tried to push the limits. As far as the OP's question, as others have posted, the IPF SC system is the only seemingly reliable FI option for 2010-2011 V6 Camaros.

How about the STS Single Turbo. I've been seeing around the web that this is a really good system. That is the system that I am going to be saving for.
