need help on which way to go.

[itsblue95]

So I have been going back and forth between supercharge or turbo. onperformance or vortech sq. I'm almost 100% I'm just gonna go with the vortech sq. I was wondering how the B-31 cam would be with the supercharger? My car is pretty much stock for right now, but this wont be the case for long. Thanks for your help in advance.

i hear stock cams are good for FI. just leave it in untill after you boost it and want more power.

 

[itsblue95]

So do I but I want to do it all at once so I wont have to have the car down longer then it needs to be

when you want to go turbo, its more to be considered...do you mind changing headers/front end suspension?

either will max out your stock internals, just a preference/money decision

 

[itsblue95]

the on3 turbo kit you should have to change out the k member atleast thats what they said on their site. and yea i plan on running stock bottom end for the summer i love the instant power from a supercharger. but no i dont mind to change everything out either thats why i want to try and do most of it at once

turbo> sc. more hp per lbs boost. if its a 95 cobra (looks like it from your sig)leave your car stock and get the turbo kit or just get your heads and lower intake ported. upgrade fuel and ignition. on a 5.0 it can be at full boost by 3000 rpm and depends on the type of sc it can be instant or higher in the rpm band. you can find used tubular k members pretty cheap.

 

[97stanger]

agree with that per lb turbos are more efficient, and thats coming from a centri guy

but I'm the first to recommend a vortech, have had nothing but awesome results

 

[itsblue95]

yea i love vortech ever since my buddy had a t trim on his fox. he never had problems out of it. and alot of people around here are either turbo or supercharged so ive rode in both types of cars. i just cant choose which one to get since i like both.

 

[97stanger]

its really just personal preference. I already had longtubes and liked centris which is why i went that route, would I do it again? Absolutely. But at the same time I wouldnt be object to a turbo

 

[itsblue95]

Yea like I said before I really like both set ups. I'm just getting bored being stock so I'll prolly still go vortech cause I know there are quality kits

With the supercharger you will have an easier installation, easier maintenance, easier to work on the car. The turbos are a little bit more complicated and harder to work on, chase boost leaks if they occur, making sure everything is nice and tight, more hardware. Turbos are more of a pain than superchargers but they make more power per boost (usually). If you just want a street car with a little kick, than a supercharger will be the way to go.

 

[itsblue95]

Yea it will be mainly a street car but will be taken to the track very regularly

 

[itsblue95]

Which type of hearders are better for superchargers long tube or shorty's?

 

[Javi]

You will be fine with a supercharger,unless you are doing an aftermarket block i wouldnt go turbo.

 

[itsblue95]

im doing the supercharger setup just trying to get everything together right now

Did you look at my build ??? That is pretty close to i think what will max out stock internals. It's enough to split a stock block.

Yea I looked at it win. I'm gonna be doing a boss block over the winter. But it's close right now.

Well then do a S or T-Trim then

 

[itsblue95]

yea thats what im thinking im leaning more towards a t trim since its not much more. but i finally ordered heads and am gonna order a cam next week so the process has started

An S-Trim is good enough for a solid 450-500 rwhp. Do you think your going to want more then that?
