STS Turbo or Supercharger

Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger would be a nice clean install. I had a Procharger on my Camaro and liked it, but the Edelbrock E-Force setups are nice, and cleaner install/packaging, not to mention the warranty.
 
Corvette at one time needed a cowl hood to clear a maggie. lingenfelter did them and I remembEr it needed hood clearance. Edelbrock 599hp setup looks great to me.

For the price of that though, you could probably do a billet 76mm out back and probably make the Edelbrock guys studder about how great their giant engine cover looks cooooler than that fast turbo setup :) twins cost a lot, parts double, etc so I would do twins myself..

Aaaand insead of putting a 100lb paperweight under the hood, you put a 40lb turbo behind the rear axle...and a meth kit in the trunk.. :)

See I've heard there is a lot of heat soak from the edelbrock chargers and the stock hood won't work. I like the procharger because it's cheaper than the turbo option plus you don't hav to drill any oil lines. I really wanted to go twins in the rear but some people have been telling me it's more hassle than the procharger as far as maintenance and installing. The nice thing about th STS is that it eliminates the mufflers. I wouldn't have to worry about buying an exhaust lmao.
 
Regardless of which design, I'm going to vote supercharger. Admittedly I've never owned a turbo vehicle, but personally I just like the simplicity of superchargers comparatively. That's not to say I wouldn't own/build a turbo street car though depending on the car, goals, and budget.
 
I have/had two belt driven power adders. My Vortech was a pain, the TVS hasn't been an issue.
 
I had a vortech on my camaro and I always had issues lol. Im just wondering if there newer v3 models are improved.

I doubt it :lol: I loved my Vortech when the belt was tight and was making boost. The problem was it didn't stay tight for very long. I think the roots style has a better chance of staying tight. I've NEVER had belt slip on my CJ.

local ls and corvette guru. he may have had a hand in the TTI kit design also.
just depends on the power you want.
phil has done a few eforce also. almost positive they were under stock hoods. the one felt pretty good for what it was
 
Ball bearing, billet wheel, air cooled turbo out back solves a few issues(no oil lines needed) but its pricey..
 
Ok thanks everyone. Really thinking STS twins isn't the way to go. Been talking to Andy at Livernois and he said they usually don't use half the parts or the turbos that come with the kit because they are junk lol.
