Which setup has more acceleration 0-60-100, a twin turbo or a super charger?

[thetournykid]

Ok guys, first off im new here, yet i really appricate the friendly community, and i know this subject has been coverd, but frankly i could not understand what alot of people were saying, becuase i dont understand half the abbrivations sadly :( lol..


Anywayyy, I'm going to be getting a 2SS in a couple months and am going to get either a super/pro charger or a TT set up going on, but i dont know which to get.


( if anyone can tell me where the search button is to search for things on specific topics so i can find ALL of the topics on this, that'd be great! )

I'm pretty much only intrested in the 0-60-100 MPH area.



If anyone can shoot any insight as too which of these beasts i should get/ what type would be the best for those results, that'd be great.

Also do you need/can you get gauges put in your car? whats the advantage / disadvantage of these? are they expensive? thanks!


If it matters, i plan to get a cold air intake as well, and i'll have normal street tires.



Thank you a bunch to anyone who answers this post!



OR what setup entirley would give me the fastest result? again i mainly care about 0-100mph range, but my limit is up to 10k, so if theres somthing else, let me know please, THANKS

You will get every possible response.

This is my < .02 - I would buy a Maggie and use the rest of the money for upgrading the suspension and tires. Since you are interested in 0-60...100 traction becomes an issue with a higher output engine. If it is a manual, you may need also want a better clutch and gears. If it is an auto you may want to consider a higher stall torque converter. Those items will quickly chew up your 10K.

Just an FYI - one of the moderators, Mindz, had a ProCharger setup he was selling for $5,000 which would be a great deal and save you enough money to add headers, exhaust and maybe even CAI.

As far as gauges - they are great to have IF you will actually use them and/or will be doing some "spirited" or competitive driving. The first two IMO to get would be Air-to-Fuel and Vacuum/Boost. These two together would probably run around $500 for a good set with mounting. Get a hold of moderator GTAHVIT. He is getting/has two really nice gauges he can describe to you.

That last part about the "CAI" made me laugh. haha

This thread's topic reminds me of what my thought process was kind of like when I first started thinking about modding my car.

Here's what I would do:

You have your budget, so now try to stay within it. With careful planning, you can probably get everything you want, all within your budget.

If you get a TT setup, you will have everything you need to have a fast 0-60/100 mph car but when you are talking about getting good launches, like Speedster said before me, getting your suspension and traction worked out is key.

Realistically, suspension mods can cost you a lot. If you add new axles, it's going to be difficult to stay within your budget.

If you get a TT setup or a supercharger and you keep the boost around 8 psi, you can probably get away with needing no other upgrades. Maybe you can add an exhaust for sound.

You could also get your CAI if you get a top mount blower.

Basically, what I would do is get a Kenne Bell 2.8 supercharger, plus a catback, and maybe some wider rear tires and call it a day.

Or, I would get a Granatelli TT setup and enjoy.

Sound advice... the KB is an excellent supercharger and Granatelli makes a great TT kit.

The search this forum link is on the right just above the posts, but not at the top where the menu is. It is lower. There is also a search this thread link.

http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicl.../photo_02.html what about a twin supercharger

[thetournykid]

Man guys, needless to say i REALLY appricate your responses, speedy/sonny, you both had great points, and i'll look into them both too see which i'd really like.

When talking about traction, what is the "cheapest" upgrades you can do? As for the exhaust, am i correct in saying all it really does is make a diffrent sound?


speedster you said, you will get every answer which i believe, would it be correct to assume that theres not going to be a "huge" diffrence in a TT setup vs a super charger? or will they both just be badass lol

Buy this and be done.

Cheapest upgrade for traction is drag radials but only a short term solution. Exhaust do alot more than "sound" they are actually a performance part and can add considerable horsepower and allow the engine to breathe. Supercharger/Twin Turbo/Single Turbo are all badass setups. I have said many times, for 99% of camaro owners, the maggie TVS2300 is hard to beat as it is so reliable and has great power, but there are so many options coming available, you just need to keep reading and researching and figure out what YOU really want and expect out of the car and make the best decisions from there.
I would use the next couple of months reading posts and using the search option here and then if you still have questions, this is a great community of true enthusiasts and someone will always be able to answer any question you have. Enjoy.

Not much more to say after that - He is spot on. The other answer is simply they are all about the same 0 to 60 - to 100 it will be hard to beat a TT kit - torque talks - you really can't go wrong.

I like the maggie TVS2300 system - it gets to the point, looks totally OE and flat out has the most proven mileage if you are thinking PD blowers. I like the Votech for Centrifugal - looks the best too of the centrifugal installs. But my favorite is the TT system

While Granatelli Sells TT system we also install and tune Maggies, Whipples, Kenne Bells, Vortechs and Procharger applications. In fact we do more Maggie installs and tunes than anything right now

[speedster]

Here's a TVS2300 for sale. Looks like you could save some money...
