Question Supercharger or twin turbo for V6 (confused)



Hello everyone needing some help, but the more I read about what to go for the more confused it makes me so maybe it's a bad idea to even post this,but here goes.

First of all I don't want a v8😊
I am confused on if I should supercharge my V6 or twin turbo..
There are ups and downs to both I know this. But I don't know what would be more reliable and will last without causing issues.

Any advise from anyone would be great.
And anyone that has one and is thinking of selling either one please let me know.

We can ship the Overkill supercharger system to the UK. You'll find it the best solution in my opinion because this is a fully inclusive kit with all parts and tuning support required, and bolt on with no special fabrication required. We're the only company offering a bolt on forced induction system for the V6 that I'm aware of! www.v6supercharger.com

I'm no expert but my advice would be a) ask why you want it.... race? trackdays? every day more ooomph? b) look at torque curves rather than just bhp figures. Do you want power through the rev range or just at higher revs?

What year is your V6 RK9?
If it's <2012 you should replace/upgrade the Timing Chain at the same time IMO.

willoverkill: What's your opinion on that thought please?

Timing chain stretched on my old 2009 Cadillac STS (same engine as Camaro V6) 2 day job at Allen's, would have cost £1000 but free under special Cadillac warranty, which last time I looked did NOT apply to Camaro models.
You need to check VIN or engine number to see if affected by faulty batch of chains that stretch, so not all vehicles will get the problem.
