Default turbo vs SC

so i was reading some of the post and then i got to the 9 sec pass that inline pro did which makes me wonder. i am, and prolly always will be a turbo guy however for the S it jus seems that the way to go is SC because its jus more reliable. i am planing on one day adding one of the two and jus trying to get some advice from the people that have already done it.

Allow me to be the first to say search and be the first to say check the FI forum and the first to say sc can f stuff up just as well as a turbo...if u want out of the box slap on and roll then yeah sc...but if your going to tinker and tune.... turbo

what i want and plan to do is to set up a stroker kit and build off that. i was reading somethings off inline pro and i like the stroker kits power and that way i was almost ready to do either one

depends on your budget, purpose, etc. if i had a choice turbo though, reliability has been proven with inline kits so I don't think that is so much that issue as maybe it once was, get everything done right with good maintenance and you should be fine

Sparrow was there throught the entire process when i went turbo. He was there for the installation and tune and even went with me for the very first run. let me tell you. the torque you have from downlow was amazing and the pull all the way to redline was also just as amazing. its easier to get the HP from the turbo but just a crank of the boost and tune.

with a supercharger, its fast, but your max hp and torque is at the peak of the power band. its up to you what you want..

If i had the ability to lock this thread I would...in fact we need to place this thread under citizens arrest...My first post told you everything u need to know...allen didn't have to build anything as the s2k comes with a stout engine that includes forged internals from the factory...if you have enough money to get a stroker and then build from there you should be on the phone with inlinepro right now but it appears your vehicular mental capacity dwindles in comparison to the assumed size of your wallet...not being mean jus getting str8 to the point...and he had 300hp at 8k but all i'ma say is area under the curve

hmm i dont think you've done enough turbo research, you don't need to build anything to hold it, our engines are pretty strong to begin with although I would suggest a 3m headgasket if your pushing more than 10psi just to be on the safe side.
